Jim Lane, the lead attorney for Aaron Dean, a former Fort Worth officer charged in the shooting death of Atatiana Jefferson, died Sunday morning at the age of 78.
"We've seen already in this particular case that at the beginning of the year, there was a continuance based on Mr. Lane's health. So there might be already a plan in place in case something happened," Vasquez said, adding that the judge will likely issue a continuance.While there's a lot of focus on the high-profile case, those who knew and worked with Lane are remembering who he was and the legacy he leaves behind in Fort Worth culture.
Lane, who was a husband, father and brother, entered the public servant sector and served as a Fort Worth City Council Member for about 12 years. "He was very proud of his service to our country in the US Army, and from there I think he had the roots that really led him to being such an involved and giving person of himself and our community. He was a true embodiment of a servant leader," said Flores.
