The former Texas A&M football player who confessed to killing running enthusiast David Stevens on White Rock Trail near the Walnut Hill underpass in Lake Highlands goes on trial today/Monday. Since October 12, 2015 when Thomas Johnson hacked Stevens to death with a machete, Johnson has been in jail or receiving treatment for mental illness. He appeared in court Friday and told the judge he’s now aware of the charges he’s facing and prepared to face trial. The jury was selected last week.
