FORT WORTH --- Jurors resumed deliberations Thursday morning in the murder trial of former Fort Worth police officer Aaron Dean, who shot and killed 28-year-old...
The jury deliberated nearly eight hours Wednesday before breaking for the night. They are sequestered throughout deliberations and resumed about 8:30 a.m. Thursday.
State troopers arrived at the Tarrant County courthouse Wednesday. Cory Session, vice president for the Innocence Project of Texas, said the troopers’ presence can be intimidating. Session said he called on Gov. Greg Abbott to remove them. Dean’s lawyer Bob Gill said in closing arguments that Dean acted within his Fort Worth police training to meet deadly force with deadly force. Dean testified he saw the barrel of Jefferson’s gun; his lawyers said in opening statements he also saw a green laser attached to his gun pointed at him, however, Dean did not testify to that.
“It wasn’t important to [Dean] to serve and protect that day,” Deener said. “It was important for him to get there, get in the action.”
