Former Fort Worth police officer Aaron Dean took the stand in his own defense at his murder trial. He's charged with killing Atatiana Jefferson during a call for an open door at her home.

Dean said he thought he saw someone pointing a gun at him, but the DA says he never identified himself as a police officer.

On today's Ask The Expert, we got some insight into what Dean had to say on the witness stand from Brian Owsley. He's a law professor from UT Dallas.
