DALLAS -- David Stevens was out for his usual morning run in October of 2015 when he passed under a bridge on a Dallas jogging path. There, prosecutors say, he was accosted and hacked to death by a former Texas A&M football player wielding a machete.
That player, Thomas Johnson, went on trial Monday, with prosecutors showing the jury photographs of what they say the former wide receiver did to Stevens' body. An official with the Dallas County Medical Examiner's office said no one could have survived the wounds, according to CBS 11 News.
Johnson is accused of waiting on the White Rock Creek Trail in East Dallas four years ago and attacking Stevens when the 53-year-old mechanical engineer ran by.
