OK, let's take this down in the courtroom.
Good afternoon. The jury
has sent a note or given me
info notice that they have reached a verdict.
Are both sides ready to receive the verdict?
The defense is ready, all right.
Y'all did fabulous when we did
the guilt innocence verdict.
OK, same rules apply.
I don't know what this verdict is.
Can't have any emotions.
All right, let's bring them in.
You're 1.
Everyone may be seated.
Good afternoon. You're number one.
It's my understanding that
jury has reached a verdict.
Is that correct?
Is it a unanimous verdict?
OK, you need a police,
deputy Nicholson.
Mr Dean.
Verdict reads. We the jury, having
found the defendant, Aaron York Dean,

of the offense of manslaughter,
assess his punishment at confinement
in the Texas Department of Criminal
Justice for 11 years, 10 months, 12 days.
They do not assess a fine.

Mr Bressette, is there any legal reason
why Senate should not be pronounced?
No legal reason, Mr Dean.
It's the jury having found you
guilty of the offense of manslaughter
and assessed this punishment.
So the order of the courts,
you be remanded to the
custody of the sheriff,
be delivered to the director of
the Texas Department of Criminal
Justice to serve your sentence.
As required by law.
You will receive credit for all the time
that you have served in custody on this case,
from the date of your original
arrest up until today,
which would be the date of sentence.
You have the right to appeal the jury's
decision to do so by giving written
notice of appeal to the second quarter.
Appeals here in Fort Worth within 30 days.
If you are an indigent and
cannot afford a lawyer,
I would.
I would conduct an indigency
hearing to determine if you are
indigent and if you are indigent,
I would appoint a lawyer to
represent you on appeal and provide
you a record of this appeal and
at this of this trial at no cost.
Mr Gill, Mr Vercetti,
if y'all will remain on his
case pending his decision,
whether he wishes to appeal and if
you'll furnish the information for
the trial court certification of
appeal before you leave here today,
I would appreciate it.
Is there an allocution?
You may be seated. Thank you very much.
