WATCH LIVE: Day 1: Nephew of Atatiana Jefferson Takes Stand in Aaron Dean Murder Trial

LIVE STREAM OF THE TRIAL WILL APPEAR IN THE VIDEO PLAYER ABOVE. THE COURT WILL RECESS PERIODICALLY.

After three years, the murder trial of former Fort Worth police officer, Aaron Dean is set to begin Monday.

Dean shot and killed Atatiana Jefferson through a window of her mother’s Fort Worth home. He was one of the officers who responded to the home Oct. 12, 2019 after Jefferson’s neighbor called the non-emergency line over about an open door at the home.

On the night of the shooting, Jefferson was playing video games with her 8-year-old nephew, Zion Carr, who was the only witness inside the house.

Motion to move former police officer Aaron Dean’s murder trial out of Tarrant County has been denied.

Monday is also the funeral for Jim Lane, Dean’s lead attorney. Lane died the day before jury selection started. There is a chance that, after ruling on the change of venue, the court could recess for attorneys to attend the funeral.

The jury consists of eight men and six women. None of the jurors are Black. The majority appear to be white, while a few are people of color.

A source familiar with the jury selection process said one of the potential jurors, a Black woman, who was asked to come back Friday was excused due to a family health issue.

Judge George Gallagher gave both sides the opportunity to challenge of the jury members that were picked. Neither side had any objections.
