FORT WORTH, Texas — A jury has been chosen for the murder trial of former Fort Worth police officer Aaron Dean, which is scheduled to begin Monday in Tarrant County.
The attorneys and 396th District Court Judge George Gallagher agreed Friday morning on the final selection of 12 jurors and two alternates. Eight men and six women were chosen. None of the jurors is Black. The majority appear to be white; a few jurors appear to have other racial backgrounds.
The jury will decide whether Dean is guilty of a crime in the October 2019 shooting death of Atatiana Jefferson.
