- Watch the state's full closing arguments in the trial for former Fort Worth officer Aaron Dean, who is accused of murdering Atatiana Jefferson. Prosecutors argued self-defense only applies if someone reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary to protect against the other person's unlawful deadly force. "What has been unlawful about what Atatiana did?"

If you ever wanna see how corrupt a person is... Give them a little power!
How would Aaron Dean react if HE heard unknown/unidentified people in HIS backyard at 2am???
The exact same but worst because he know them pigs gonna stand behind him
I heard a noise in my freezer! Probably just the ice maker but I better point muh gun in there first just in case.
Start firing at everything moving sit might even hit his dog
Exactly. He would have pulled the trigger without hesitation.
He'd shoot the black person?
I love it "you can't create the danger and then scream self defense" 💯 accurate ° we should ALL feel SAFE @ HOME ❤️
He looks down as to concentrate on writing. He's writing nothing. Too ashamed to look up and listen. A coward.
Remember chauvin endlessly writing fake notes in court? Same energy
REBUKE THAT DEMON
They never said the obvious. When the lights are on inside a house and it’s dark outside. The person in the dark can see in but the one inside with the light on can’t see out. So even if she had pointed a gun, she couldn’t see out. She has a right to protect her home
Zion like most kids get close to windows to look out. Atatiana didn’t have the same opportunity. She was looking blindly out against the darkness. After the police demands it was a split second before Dean fired. There’s no self defense when you’re on someone else’s property unbeknownst to the person inside of their home.
Ppl needs to have your windows blinds goes up not down because someone can look in from outside but not when up. Test it and see for yourself
Excellent point should have been brought up in the trial
@Gracious Gardner-DeTrinidad ...
Excellent Point, And Prosecution Could Have Used Your Exact Description/Words.
The Only Thing The Scummy Defendant Could Of Said Is I Didn't Know What She Could Or Couldn't See Out Of Her Window.But I Felt My Life Was In Danger From The Burglars.
@@acr8615this statement makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, everybody cannot afford WINDOW BLINDS 👈🏾
Thank you to this prosecution team. Justice for Atatiana.
That’s not justice 12 years for being murdered in your own home when the cop should have announced himself and herself at the front door and not roam around the back of the house.
All they had to do was knock on the door and announce their presence! This should have ended with a laugh over a burnt burger!
Exactly. Too busy trying to play Rambo.
The front door was open. She had a see thru storm door locked. She had open it to let out smoke because she burn some hamburgers.
He's a white supremacist who was itching to kill
Exactly .Senseless murder
'You can't create the danger then claim it self defense.' Amen.
🙏🏻🙏🏽⚖️💙
Excellent line!!!
The 911 caller created the danger. Just fyi
Actually, that's EXACTLY how Policing works when Black people get hurt or killed and violated. It shouldn't be but it is.
Actually, that's EXACTLY how Policing works when Black people get hurt or killed and violated. It shouldn't be but it is.
We all know how this is going to out
It was not self-defense. It was murder.
That man was cold as ice , I really hope that Justice is served for her .
He shows zero remorse for killing her. This was about power period. Defendant is so creepy. He did not make a good impression. He shot the babysitter for God’s sake.
His only remorse he feels is for fact he's on trial and is facing a lengthy prison sentence.
And the only thing he thinks he could’ve done different was “stayed home.” What an arrogant piece of 💩.
Her blood on him and his family and the court for not charging him with murderer.
He doesn't care and truly all along that he was going to get away with murder... He didn't announce himself as a police officer and he did the things he wasn't taught in the academy. In fact, he did the exact opposite. And he had on his mind that she was a criminal. It's not right. And our COMMUNITY IS TIRED OF IT..
NO EMPATHY, SYMPATHY, COMPASSION, COLD AS ICE!
BC he had a gun pointing at him.
And no remorse
@@barronvonschneider2834 THE LORD IS OUR JUDGE, THE LORD GOD IS OUR LAW GIVER.HE IS OUR KING. HE WILL SAVE HIS PEOPLE. JUDGMENT DAY IS COMING! VENGEANCE IS THE LORD'S!
@@Moore_cookies51 Yeah except way worse things have happened like WW1 WW2 the Holocaust, Slavery, Child sex trafficking Democrats, and the Lord never came so he ain't comin now either
@@barronvonschneider2834 YOU ARE DEFINITELY LIVING YOUR CALLING. DOING A good job at it! WICKEDNESS!
My first thoughts within just a minute or two of him testifying yesterday -hearing him speak & seeing that nasty smirk on his face so clearly showed his arrogance & heartlessness.
He hung himself even more when Mr. Smith asked him what other option he had that night and the 🤡said, "stay home!" smmfh
@@IgiveZEROfksaboutapredator exactly!!!
I love how she handled this! Carried on excellently with objection’s and all 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
she is 100% right he is a damn cold killer. he looks just likea guy who can take your life in a fraction of the second which actually he did
How do you create a burglary out of the welfare check? Then you creep around a private residence and not announce yourself and shoot through the damn window! And say you did “ a fine job”. The judge is clearly bias btw just another dead black person to him. This young woman could have changed the world but we will never know. Her nephew is in my prayers
YES THAT NOT A HAIR OUT OF PLACE JUDGE IS JUST THAT. MEKA. STRUTS AROUND LIKE HE'S NOT A HIRELING. HE'S A HIRELING.
Botham & Atatiana were home just living their lifes & BAM. Then they try 2 dirty up their character when they did nothing that deserved 4 their lifes 2 b taken. Meanwhile mass shooters get treated with infant mittens & get Burger King
The new game is to not put you in handcuffs and put you in the car now its a show of force and look for a way to murder us look how long George was walked around before they took his life
i asked again how was his life in danger wen he didnt knew she had a gun till after he shot her and entered the house
Great point 🙏
He said, He saw her point the gun at him. That's why the question was ask to her nephew. Did she rise the gun up or her side. He said on her side
Why didn't he say drop your weapon and put your hands up? Instead of put you hands up
@@acr8615 dont try to defend bad policing for one they had no business snoopin roun somones house unanounced the partner said they didnt see a gun at the time of shooting so we no hes a lie rite thats y after the shooting took place he was happy to see a gun on the floor so he have a motive good train cops dont shoot at just a pointing gun if it was pointing at him but the number one thing is they shouldnt have been at this womans house not anouncing who they are police officers are suppose to identify themselves at all times especially on som ones property
Dean need to own up to what he did 🧐
Creating a danger than claiming to be the victim is the way of the police. He's not the only one that knew he was dangerous.
This is the stupidest tging i have ever read
Just like the mcmichaels.
all cops should sue their trainers for making them believe they can just do anything.
yup... also, there is no such thing as a "good cop", because even the "good" ones know what the crooked ones are up to, yet do nothing. Theyre all complicit.
Exactly I have often wondered what makes them think they are GOD -- they are NOT better than anyone else, our laws apply to them just as well as the rest of us, they are citizens just like us, it's their job to enforce the law but that doesn't mean the law doesn't apply to them cuz they have a badge wth
@@merry8545 people please don't forget how the police unions and departments defend these psycho cops no matter how egregious the crimes they commit.
They negotiate even felony charges and get the offensive cops back on the streets, same neighborhoods sometimes. Even after a lawsuit has been settlement against them.
COMMON SENSE ACTUALLY WORKS.
@@Moore_cookies51 Exactly!!! The average citizen with no law enforcement training wouldn’t have acted the way he did.
“We know what he does with power..now what are you gonna do with it? Find him guilty!”
Chills.
all cops have fake power......the system has always been created where the people have all the power.
Possibly the best line ever spoken during a closing argument
"Barz!" 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
👏🙌👏🙌👏
She can go home and be a hero not act like one
Never give money the axillary police. Your money is going towards the guilty cops defence . Never do that.
Let ME TELL YOU THIS, DO NOT GIVE YOUR MONEY TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT! DONT GIVE THEM A PENNY! I DONT LIKE COPS, I DONT SUPPORT THEM, AND, I DONT SPEAK TO THEM, AND , I WILL NOT UPHOLD ANY OF THEM IN THEIR EVILNESS!
She did a great job driving this home. I hope the jury can see past any biases they have and really take in account everything that happened.
I pray the Jefferson family gets the justice they deserve. Please don’t let this woman’s death be in vain.
I pray for the same thing!!!
It’s an all white jury. No way they find him guilty of murder. They did manslaughter and will give him the lowest sentence possible which is 2 years. Watch.
That officer is guilty
HE'S COLD AS 🧊!
"Aryan" Dean never rendered her aid so we know who he represents.
All he had to do was go to the door knock and ask if everybody was okay, Tara Ian’s would still be alive and he would have his freedom but no he wanted to be a narrow minded “hero cop”
I work as a 911 dispatcher. We get open property calls all day; mostly in the morning when people are waking up, opening windows, doors and garage doors. When police arrive, the residents are usually still inside of the property. They check for forced signs of entry, knock on the door, announce themselves and the residents come to the door to apologize and let the officers know they are fine and it was accidental. They don’t go snooping around the property, looking into windows without announcing themselves either. And guess what? Everyone lives. The directive for an open property is not hard to follow.
Justice for Tatiana and her family and friends. Even though some of us don't know you sunshine. 💕
Was this CORRECT POLICE WORK? AARON DEAN. MAN YOUR WRONG FOR WHAT YOU DID. YOU HAVEN'T EVEN DROPPED 1 SINGLE TEAR OF REMORSE OR FROWN. YOU COULD'VE AT LEAST ACTED LIKE YOU CARED OR SORRY FOR KILLING A INNOCENT WOMEN. WITH A BRIGHT FUTURE AND HAS BEEN TORN AWAY FROM HER AND HER FAMILY
If that cop goes to jail is not mainly due to his mistake but his arrogance and no remorse of what his mistake did.
This Cop defense reminds me of Greg and Travis McMichael. It didn't work for them and it isn't going to work for this killer Cop. Lock him up!
This is what a police officer that runs on his ego dose over and over and over all over America it’s time we stand up and stop it and this is a good start
Somehow Zimmerman done just that; created the danger than claimed self defense under the “stand your ground” law.
HOWEVER IT WASN'T THIS DEMONS GROUND TO STAND ON!
And got away with it
Because white supremacy
@Janice Blount He’s protected by the same officers we keep watching breaking the law on video.
Thank you Madam Prosecutor I felt your sincerity.He is so cold and he came on the force to kill one of us. Justice will prevail RIP🙏🏽🦋🙏🏽 then after this sue the department yep!!! 🦋🙏🏽
I hope they give him that Derek Chauvin treatment!!!!
Greg and Travis McMichael too!
From Denmark 🇩🇰 I hope the Jefferson family will finally gets the justices they deserve🙏 This defendant has no remorse at all and he is cold as ice.. JUSTICE FOR TATIANA JEFFERSON✌
This so sad
Great job.
Amazing job!
We can only pray the jury delivers real justice. They don't always.
Another thing, the judge could reverse the jury if they give him 10 years or the other way around. When all is said and done that young lady should still be living large and happy among us.
These prosecutors did an amazing job. But the jury will always favor and empathize the officers and give the benefit of the doubt to that officer. We need to hold them to the highest standards
@@Harlem1mentality Agreed! That’s why they keep doing what they do. Civilians NEVER hold them accountable that is until someone in their family is affected by the behavior of a rogue, arrogant and piece of 💩 “cop.”
She beautiful and intelligent 🤓! Good job Prosecutor's! Kudos and please God give this family justice 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The truth is she is on point, there are the good, the bad, and the ugly, NOT all police are like this dude. He needs to go down because he did it his way, pay the cost to be the boss. But again, don’t blame all the good for the bad and ugly. Please.
You mean like Cops do black folk?
You're right, just seems there are a lot like him -- I don't mean to imply all cops are on a power trip but is it just me or do others feel there are more that are on a power trip than aren't?
If there was good cops there wouldn’t be bad cops. The good cops would hold the bad cops accountable. Law enforcement should be outraged after events like this. You’ll never see any speak out on the record.
@@merry8545 I feel the same !
I wish I were there, to watch this in person
By not announcing himself, he became a prowler.
She made a powerful argument in that use of deadly force is only lawful against someone the defender reasonably believed to be UNLAWFULLY using deadly force, and that a defender cannot unreasonably create the self defense situation.
When she parted from that approach and focused on making the jury WANT to find the officer guilty somehow rather than convicting on the facts of the case and arguments drawn therefrom, she was every last bit as wrong as the defendant was for not following procedure on his job.
Excellent statement. Absolute Justice for Atatiana Jefferson. Please God in Jesus name Amen
Why didn't he say drop your weapon and put your hands up? Instead of put you hands up
How about going to the front door announcing you are the POLICE.
You can tell me to disregard whatever but I will not 😂😂😂😂
This was not malicious intent but extremely reckless , I get that when your in moment you have milliseconds to react and identify a threat and that's something most will never understand unless it happens to you but this was bs they did he even announce police loud enough for anyone in side to hear let them know just cuz someone is holding a gun doesn't make it ok and justified shoot immediately especially when it is down at your side his paranoia caused a innocent woman defending themselves to lose there life with no justification, I understand no one wants to die a better to be cautious keep your guard up but some cops have developed through training this extreme paranoia that every one wants to kill you as soon as you put the badge uniform and gun on and your on the clock we don't expect them wait until someone else shoot before defending themselves but we are not in a warzone where everyone you don't know might try to kill you you have to give people the option to surrender put the gun down not as soon as you think you saw a possible gun or weapon , you can't let fear and paranoia cloud your judgement or things like this happen it takes certain type of people to be a cop and and if you're not one of them then please go find another job not all cops should be held responsible for his behavior that isn't fair unless they are lying to cover someone else bad behavior and calling them out when they step out of line then yes they guilty too seems like some cop are out there trying to find a excuse to play with toys in a real life situation and become to quick to respond with unnecessary force
It was malicious intent! The klansman knew he was in a black neighborhood
Except that the cops control the situation. They control how they approach the situation and at what speed.
You act as if he didn't put himself in danger by sneaking through the back yard looking for this phantom burglar while alerting Atatiania that the cop could have been a burglar walking through the backyard.
All he had to do was announce himself since it was a welfare check not a call about a burglary in progress.
She did a great job!!
Great closing statement!!
I could do without the lecture about how awesome the Fort Worth cops are.
Well she’s giving them permission to send him to jail without convicting the entire PD. She knows they are biased and they want to be on the side of Police.
@@KS-hi8vi Good point. Thanks for the insight.
Throw the 📚 at him for killing this grandma.
God said VENGEANCE IS HIS.
That line is from new testament.
Let's get old school
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost
children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
At first I thought he was only guilty of negligence however he was called to do a welfare check and instead jumped to the conclusion that the occupants were up to no good and snuck around the back of the house to try and catch them at something. without announcing himself.
While it is true it was given to him as an open door to structure call; his job was to investigate and then if a burglary was in process go back to his car and wait for backup while verifying that no one is leaving the building. Once enough backup is there; surround the building and then announce themselves. He totally ignored this and went his own way; well beyond negligence. It should have been a murder conviction.
"You can't create the danger and call it self-defense."
Could she have fired her weapon and claimed self defense?
Geeezzz.....you should make sure we can hear what she is saying!!!!
Heard her stomach gurgling with my buds in.
Y’all must be ugly & dumb so u JEALOUS of the smart attractive attorney??
snoop around my house and dont annouce yourself, church out and the preacher gone
Kyle Rittenhouse created the danger then claimed self defense and was acquitted. Wish those jurors felt the same as this prosecutor and jury.
Amen
🙏❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏❤️🙏🏾 justice for this lovely woman ° I think about what if that was my mother, my daughter, my aunt, my cousin, my spouse; my loved one; if we don't stand together someone we love could be their next victim -- the law applies to the blue just as well as the rest of us - had Atatiana shot him where would she be today? Could she scream "self defense"? Cops are out of control and have been for years they gotta be held to the SAME standards we are ! ! !.
Even higher, because they chose that profession. In addition they are given the power to kill. There absolutely has to be accountability. Society can't function when justice is absent.
@@frozenropephotography861 you are correct 💯 and thank you for adding that comment because you are absolutely correct regarding a higher standard than civilians
Every PIG 👮🏻♂️🐷🐖🐽: Who needs Accountability and Humanity when you have *Qualified Immunity?*
Sure you can create the danger. Zimmerman did it, rottenhouse did it.
Brih don't interrupted closing. Closing is an extemporaneous argument and can have the lawyers opinion.....its closing. I didn't find the statement something to be objected
I thought you could say anything in closing arguments
What did he got to house for I'm trying to figure this mess out
YOU SIT THERE WITH NOT A CARE IN THE WORLD. YOUR GUILTY AND MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL
The Prosecutor executed a skillful closing.
A police officer speeding and not paying attention crashed into the back of an Amish horse and carriage with 5 family members scattering all around and the horse half dead people moaning and groaning with blood and scars while the officer who hit them just walks around and ask are you all right and does not give aid and when all of the superiors show up he starts crying and says he feels the worst for the horse cause his girlfriend has horses and not crying for the 5 bleeding family members was just a disgusting admission and then his superiors says don't worry about it I've done plenty of bad mistakes. The horse had to be shot twice cause the cop from swat couldn't do it the first shot and suffered even more from the hands of the cops.
The sound quality is so bad.
Instead of put your hands up
Worst closing ever. Completely improper argument.
In everyone of these cases the defendants are always writing
WRITING HOW TO CONTRADICT TRUTH, WITH Lies!
This is horrible, He took the life of a Mother. End This Police Abuse America if you don't speak up No one will.
Did they ever say who they were?POLICE POLICE POLICE
I don't understand why the Jury would go for manslaughter instead of murder?
No sound
Why didn't he say drop your weapon and put your hands up?
He’s in HER back yard ON private property. How about going to the front door announcing who you are??
Because he never saw a gun.
This lady is pretty good. Very smart.
This POS should be in prison for life. Sad but true there are way to many bad cops like this across our nation.
I wonder what he is writing?
The pen did not move
More than likely the jurors are watching and he doesn't want to make eye contact
Probably like his empty cup...
Maybe writing his note so someone finds it when he offs himself!🤣😂🤣
@@IgiveZEROfksaboutapredator one could hope
She 100 percent right 👍🏾
I like her. When there was an objection, she didn’t pout, she forged on.👍
He is so guilty guilty guilty
🤦🏻 that coughing!! All the way through! Have a lozenge ffs. So annoying.
He was sooo wrong
unjustified homicide
There are people in EVERY industry and job who are good and hardworking, as there are bad, lazy, evil, smart, dumb…. Every kind in every role. The difference, NOT all carry guns and a license to kill. That’s where you get into trouble… when you can marry evil to a handgun. Or poor decision making skills to a handgun.
Conversely, I recently called on police for help in Coppell when a man dropped a heavy large item off his truck that almost caused me to wreck.
The responding officer was EXEMPLARY. He treated me like you’d hope your mom, sister or daughter treated.
There is no peace without Justice and no Justice without Peace and if both of those two core values were honored by all to it's highest capacity, well there would be no criminal offenders. To obtain a 100% of both of them is achievable, obtainable and should of been what we all on earth lived by and swore by. So why isn't it that way today because there is an answer and truth to that and the solution to fix that.
I like her
Guilty guilty guilty of murder
Blah blah blah--the cop will do no time and will be on the Fort Worth or other police force in a year or so where his fellow officers will regard him as a hero who killed with impunity and buy him drinks in the local cop bar to tell them the story of his brave takedown of an innocent woman. When he finishes his tale of killing a woman in her own home in front of her nine year old nephew and getting away with it, there will be high fives all round because their hero is living proof that sloppy "police work" goes unpunished even when life is lost and no one need worry if they decide to get a little trigger happy.
I so hope that you are wrong and they will throw the book at him, and set a new precedent of 0 tolerance for such abhorrent reckless behavior. 🙏 for change.
What's with people/neighbours calling welfare checks on people ffs. Just go and knock on the door and say hello.
Why do people call and have the police sent around.
A welfare check. What a fkn joke. Dial M for murder.
11 years and 9 months for a life.... why not the full 20 years. Why these killers always being given leniency. The young lady might have lived to 68, or 78, heck, that's 40 to 50 years that killer should serve.
It's taken 3 years to get to sentencing, that's a joke too.
So sorry for the family. Who was the idiot sent for the cops. Have they left the area. Surely they can't still live there, they have blood on their hands.
If that ain't the comment of the century concerning cops!!!!!!
This was a hate crime. He's a coward.
He's an SS soldier of the American Gestapo.
It’s so sad that guy will eventually get released on probation or at worst 2 years and only serve 1
I would not be whispering but maybe that works
What is the Prosecutor name
Help spoken in the holy name of God. Truths
