After more than 13 hours of deliberation, a Tarrant County jury has found former Fort Worth officer Aaron Dean guilty of manslaughter in the death of Atatiana Jefferson.
Dean was charged in Jefferson's 2019 death. The former Fort Worth officer shot and killed Jefferson through a window while responding to the home on an "open structure" call.
The trial spanned five days, with various witnesses from both the prosecution and defense. Among them, Jefferson's nephew Zion Carr, Dean's ex-partner Carol Darch and several others. Dean also took the stand himself in an attempt to clear his name.
Dean was charged with murder, but the judge offered the option to consider a lesser charge of manslaughter.
