By Matt Blake and Associated Press Reporter PUBLISHED: 12:21 EST, 8 November 2013 | UPDATED: 12:24 EST, 8 November 2013 A Texas woman faces up to 99 years in prison after she was found guilty of murdering a decorated university athlete outside a nightclub with a single stab to the heart. Kaitlyn Ritcherson, 21, fatally stabbed 21-year-old Fatima Barrie after a brawl spilled out of the Republic Live bar and into the street in Austin's famous party district in December 2011. She had claimed Ms Barrie, a junior biology major and highly decorated track star at Huston-Tillotson University, attacked her with a mobile phone or a shoe before she lashed out in self defence.
