Former Texas A&M receiver Thomas Johnson was found guilty of murder Tuesday after he confessed to the killing of Dave Stevens, according to LaVendrick Smith of the Dallas Morning News.
On Oct. 12, 2015, Johnson used a machete to murder Stevens, who was running the White Rock Creek Trail at Harry Moss Park in Dallas.
In addition to the confession, the prosecution called several witnesses during the trial. However, per Smith, the defense didn't call any witnesses or present any evidence at Johnson's request.
Per Smith, Johnson was diagnosed with schizophrenia prior to the attack and his mental state was a key part of the case following the murder.
