The key witness in the wire fraud case against Evans Landscaping owner Doug Evans testified through tears on Monday that he "let down my race" by running a shell company to illegally win minority contracts. “I’m a black man in this city and I did this and I shouldn’t have done it,” Korey Jordan testified, wiping away tears. “I went against my belief system.” Jordan, a longtime IT worker at Evans Landscaping, testified that he acted as the front for a new company – Ergon Site Construction – that was created in 2008 to win minority demolition contracts with the state and the city of Cincinnati.
