Dean getting eviscerated by the prosecution on cross examination. Prosecutor is getting Dean to admit, on several points, that what he did (or did not do) was "bad police work".

The jurors are now hearing Aaron Dean admit that he acted outsied of FWPD protocol, jeopardized the lives of everyone inside and outside the home, and failed to render aid to an innocent person he just shot.

My previous assumptions are being challenged by this aggressive questioning by prosecutors. Dean is now on his heels and flailing.

The trial of Aaron Dean begins today in Fort Worth. Dean, a FWPD officer, shot and killed Atatiana Jefferson while she was home babysitting her nephew.

Dean was prowling around the home in the dark, responding to a wellness check because of a door being open at the home. Jefferson was inside playing video games with her eight year old nephew.

It has been over three years since Atatiana was killed, and Aaron Dean has been able to delay and avoid justice for each day of those three years. His legal team has consistently stalled - requesting extensions and venue changes. They will still argue the case be tried outside of Tarrant County, where Dean killed Atatiana.

Last week, the jury was selected for Aaron Dean - the white police officer who killed a black woman baby sitting her nephew.

No black jurors were selected.
Our community in Fort Worth has waited too long for Aaron Dean to face justice. I can't imagine how hurt and angry the family and friends of Atatiana have become during each of those years.

I pray that Atatiana, and her family, gets the justice she deserves.
