DALLAS — A jury began deliberating the sentence Monday for former police officer Aaron Dean after he was found guilty of manslaughter in the 2019 shooting death of Atatiana Jefferson.
The prosecution and defense rested their cases in the sentencing phase Friday and delivered closing statements early Monday.
"There were indications from the [evaluation] of grandiosity and some interpersonal difficulties, including that this person would likely to be seen as domineering or over-controlling," Clayton said Friday during sentencing testimony. Dean ranked himself as a nine, Clayton said, adding Dean said he'd be a 10"if not for what he categorized as some stupid things that he had done in the past to -- as he described it -- piss people off."Assault accusation against DeanShe spoke about physical altercations between her and Dean and the verbal report and written statements she gave to University of Texas at Arlington police.Adarius Carr, Jefferson's brother, said his younger sister was like his"best friend.
He described Dean's work with the church, including directing and putting together a musical program every year for the holiday season.Another churchgoer and friend of Dean's family who has known him for more than 20 years testified that Dean is"a great guy."Dean's mother Donna told the jury Dean became an officer to"make a difference in people's lives and wanted to help people.
Dean and another officer responded to a nonemergency call to check on Jefferson's home around 2:30 a.m. because a door was left open to the house. Jefferson and her young nephew Zion were playing video games when they heard a noise, according to Zion's testimony. Zion said his aunt had left the door open because they burned hamburgers earlier in the night and were airing out the smoke.
