Nearly four years after a quadruple homicide shook the small Northeast Nebraska town of Laurel, the man convicted of the murders is back in court for a final sentencing.

A Tarrant County jury sentenced DeAujalae Evans to life in prison Monday afternoon after she pleaded guilty to intoxication manslaughter for the 2024 death of Fort Worth Sgt. Billy Randolph.

The Court of Criminal Appeals on Thursday overturned the death sentence of Clarence Jordan, who was convicted in Harris County in 1978.

Prosecutors were unable to pursue a murder charge due to complications with the medical examiner's determination.
