Aaron Dean, a police officer, was convicted of manslaughter in the 2019 shooting death of Atatiana Jefferson during a welfare check. The Texas jury sentenced him to 11 years, 10 months and 12 days in prison, which his attorneys feel is highly unusual. A copy of a social media post during the course of deliberations in the penalty phase was provided to the court. Judge George Gallagher granted the defense motion to reveal the juror who may have posted on social media during the trial. (January 7, 2023). I will follow this story as matters progress and update this posting.
