The murder trial of former Fort Worth police officer Aaron Dean gets underway Monday morning in a Tarrant County courtroom.
The day began with Judge Gallagher dismissing a motion from the defense to move the trial out of Tarrant County. Dean's lawyers argued that the media coverage of Jefferson's shooting makes it impossible to get an impartial jury.
Prosecuting attorneys lay out the case against former Fort Worth police officer Aaron Dean during opening statements. Dean is charged with capital murder for the 2019 shooting of Atatiana Jefferson. Defense attorney Miles Brisette then gave an opening statement for the defense. Brisette disputed the fact that Dean was called for a welfare check on the home. He says Dean was responding to an ‘open structure’ call.
