Dale Smith, there is no true indication that Dean felt that he was under threat of being shot, as he did not indicate the presence of a firearm to his partner at any point after he fired from his duty weapon.Smith said:“He never said there was a gun, because he didn’t know."Kyle Clayton, a psychologist who profiled Dean, said that the officer was not mentally fit to be a police officer.Clayton said:"(Aaron Dean) was not psychologically suitable to serve as a police officer. (He) had a narcissistic personality style (that would) make him more likely to engage in behaviors that could put himself and others at risk.”As per CNN, the shooting sparked outrage at the time, as Atatiana Jefferson is among several African-Americans who had allegedly been killed by police officers under unjust circumstances.Lee Merritt@MerrittForTexasBreaking news#AaronDean has been sentenced to 11 years in prison for the manslaughter conviction for the 10/12/19 murder of #AtatianaJefferson.
