Community members and family of Atatiana Jefferson react to the sentencing of former Fort Worth police officer Aaron Dean.
"Atatiana Jefferson….was a bright light," Jefferson's cousin, Cerese Fortson said during victim impact statements."See, Aaron Dean, what you thought when you shot our baby through her heart, was that you were going to put her light out. I am here to tell you that Atatiana is that light that refuses to die."
"No amount of sentencing would make me feel as though we received some type of justice. Atatiana should still be here. She had big dreams and goals," the statement said in part. The statement continued to say that her panic attacks after Jefferson's death have sent her to the hospital multiple times, saying she has even flatlined.
"My sister didn't do anything wrong," Carr said."She was in her home, which should have been the safest place for her to be, and yet turned out to be the most dangerous. She was murdered."
