Jurors deliberated for around 8 hours Wednesday before breaking for the night around 7 p.m. They are sequestered. State troopers were stationed in the Tarrant County courthouse before the jury left the courtroom about 11:15 a.m. Dean’s killing of Jefferson sparked nationwide outrage and became a watershed moment previewing 2020′s widespread social justice protests.
Prosecutors argued throughout the trial that Dean did not act in self-defense when he fired the lethal shot that pierced Jefferson’s heart. They said Dean didn’t see Jefferson’s gun or follow proper department procedures when he arrived at the home and investigated what Dean testified he believed was a burglary.
“It wasn’t important to [Dean] to serve and protect that day,” Deener told jurors during closing arguments. “It was important for him to get there, get in the action. Power can corrupt certain police, certain people do not need to wear a badge. Certain people do not need to have the power and control if they do not respect the accountability and, in this case, the grave effect that it had.
Smith laid autopsy photos of Jefferson’s hands across the railing of the jury box. He argued that if her hands were raised and she pointed the gun at the window, they’d have injuries from the shattered glass. A medical examiner testified during trial that Jefferson’s chest had bloodied wounds from the shards. Jurors leaned forward and peered at Smith’s photos.An image from Aaron Dean's body camera shows Atatiana Jefferson standing in the window just before he fired his weapon Oct.
Dean “saw a firearm pointed at him and based upon his training he reacted,” Gill said. “He acted tragically but he acted correctly under the law. … He reasonably believed that his actions, his deadly force, was immediately necessary to counter [Jefferson’s] use of unlawful deadly force.” But Dean and his lawyers said he believed the house was ransacked and a burglar may have been inside. Dean told jurors he saw the barrel of Jefferson’s gun through the window. Dean yelled commands and fired within less than a second, according to testimony.Jefferson’s nephew, Zion Carr, told a child forensic interviewer the morning of the shooting that Jefferson pointed a gun toward the window. But on the stand last week, the now-11-year-old boy said she kept the gun at her side.
