The jury began deliberating Aaron Dean punishment just after 10 a.m. following closing arguments from the prosecution and defense on Monday morning. In the evening, the jurors requested to stop discussions and go into sequester.
So far the jury has asked to watch body camera footage from the night of the shooting and review Fort Worth PD's general orders.
The sentencing phase for former Fort Worth police officer Aaron Dean, who was found guilty of manslaughter for the 2019 killing of Atatiana Jefferson last week, continued on Monday. Prosecutor Ashlea Deener called for the jury to give Dean the maximum sentence. Dr. Kyle Clayton determined Dean was ‘clearly not suitable’ to be hired by the department due to his displaying ‘narcissistic’ and grandiose tendencies."This is not somebody who thinks he has done anything wrong," Deener said. "The only appropriate verdict is the maximum sentence."Aaron Dean trial: Defense makes the case for probation for former Fort Worth police officer
