Aaron Dean trial: How long could Dean's sentence be?

The punishment phase of the trial will determine how long Dean's prison sentence will be for the conviction of manslaughter in the 2019 death of Atatiana Jefferson.

If the jury sentences Dean to 10 years or less and recommends the sentence be probated, then the judge has to grant it. If the sentence is more than 10 years, he has to serve some prison time, experts say.
If the judge orders him into probation, experts say, the judge could also assess up to 180 days in jail, as a condition of the supervision, without anyone's input. The judge could also order Dean into county custody upon sentencing.

The defense close contained a lot of victim blaming, to the point of accusing her of committing a first degree felony. I don't think that sat well with the general public or especially her family. If Dean walks today, I just cannot imagine how the community or her family would feel.

How an the judge put a gag order on a councilman?? What’s up with this judge? Ugh! This makes me think this judge is biased for the defendant.

Judge said Let's have "Councilman Nettles (sp?). Kill Camera and Mic".

Is there a connection between councilman Chris Nettles and this Dean trial?
Apparently Judge has called Nettles into the courtroom and is going off the record.

The victim blaming really rubbed me the wrong way. MOO

Update on Chris Nettles: The pool photographer who was in the courtroom says Nettles has a show-cause hearing on January 4 at noon for 3 counts of contempt of court for interviews and press release.

I did not realize a judge can put a gag order in a councilman who is not party to the case! Wow! Well if it’s within his authority to do so good for him! I take back what I said about judge being biased! I said that because I didn’t realize he had banned the media/closed the courtroom probably not to embarrass the councilman:

Dean's defense calls Tim Foster who went to church with Dean and describes him as "Dependable, upright, noble" Then Christina Livingston who works for Tarrant Co probation. She's just outlining what restrictions there are for probation, a possible outcome for sentencing

I don’t like the way this female prosecutor asks questions. What is the point of this questioning of this probation supervisor?

Defense attorney trying to show probation program is weak? Clearly she doesn't want AD on probation.
