For days in October 2019, nearly every North Texas news broadcast reported on the shooting death of Atatiana Jefferson. For 2 days this week in Fort Worth, attorneys for former officer Aaron Dean have replayed many of those reports.
- For several days in October 2019, nearly every local news broadcast in North Texas included reporting on the shooting death of Atatiana Jefferson.
Aaron Dean has been in court each day as hour after hour of video about the case is played. His attorneys hope it will lead to his trial being moved out of Fort Worth. It's currently scheduled to begin in less than two weeks. While some early media reports reference that he was checking on Jefferson's welfare, reports within the next few days made it clear he had been told he was going to check an open structure call, which could be treated like a burglary in progress. Dean shot Jefferson through the window of the home she was in, when he saw her inside holding a gun.
He didn't believe that the volume alone of media coverage would be enough to justify moving the trial.
