Whatever happened with this? Is there a trial date set or have the charges been dropped? Was anyone else ever charged?

Former Marine Ronald Andrew Johnson has carried the burden of an accused murderer for almost three years after fatally stabbing a Rice University basketball player on Northgate in 2007.

But on Thursday, he will return to his construction science classes at Texas A&M as a free man after a Brazos County jury found him not guilty in the death of Jonathan Bailey.
The verdict came after defense attorneys pleaded with the jury of five women and seven men to view the death as a means of self-defense, not aggression. The panel took more than four hours to reach its decision.

Sorry for the crazy bump, but I randomly thought of this today and wanted to know what ended up happening.

I remember when that happened, The incident that I frequently wonder about is the tragic accident that permanently injured the police officer on Eagle Ave. Felt so bad for the officer. Whatever happened to the drag racing perp?

Was that the one with the Blinn girl that actually got a suspended sentence if she didn't go out drinking during that time, until a photo surfaced on social media?

I think so. I remember it was a female in a sporty borrowed car and there was a lot of discussion about whether justice would be served.

Tracy Sheets was the officer. She had to retire due to her injuries. Alex Ford ended up going to prison.

She was actually denied parole each time and finally served the maximum amount of time she could serve. Unfortunately, Tracy is still serving her sentence. She will have daily pain for the rest of her life. Makes me angry every time I think about Alex being free.

I always wanted to know what happened to the female driver who ran over the girl in the Northgate garage because her drunk boyfriend reached over and slammed on the gas.

So true about Tracy. Especially while she was out working to protect others.

Alex now has an opportunity to give back to others in life, which she hopefully realizes and exploits.
