I checked Heavy.com
They had nothing actually bearing on the case.
It is beginning to look like self defense will be a major factor.
If Reeves was struck in the face he may be home free.
really??? the arrest record pic and link, wasnt enough for you??? the link to the tampa article wasnt sufficient?
You didnt read the part where its preported.....
"But nothing that happened Monday afternoon in Theater 10 at the Cobb Grove 16 Theatre in Wesley Chapel warranted “taking out a gun and firing at someone’s chest,” said Circuit Judge Lynn Tepper as she denied bail Tuesday afternoon for Curtis Reeves Jr., 71, a retired Tampa police captain charged with second-degree murder. "
Or
"The sheriff’s office confirmed that Reeves talked with a manager to complain about Oulson’s cell phone use, Detective Timothy Harris said.
“The manager said he was glad that he made him aware of it and (Reeves) returned to the theater,” Harris said.
The shooting happened, though, before the manager made it inside the theater to take action, he said."

Charles Rose, a professor at Stetson University College of Law, said the case theoretically could prompt a stand-your-ground defense, but the success could hinge on numerous details, from the lighting in the room to the relative size and strength of the two men, to what happened in the moments leading up to the shooting.
If not stand your ground, a defense attorney alternatively could use a straight self-defense argument, Rose said.
Although popcorn doesn’t seem like a serious weapon, throwing it at someone could be considered an assault, Rose said. If a defense attorney could show that the popcorn incident was part of a series of escalating events that caused Reeves to fear more was coming, then there is “a good self-defense argument and potentially a stand-your-ground argument,” Rose said.
On the other hand, Rose said, if evidence shows that Reeves egged on Oulson and was abusive toward him, and that Oulson responded to that abuse, then it’s more difficult to argue self defense.
“It’s a tragedy,” Rose said. “But like most Shakespearean tragedies, we can’t not watch it so there is going to be a lot of talk about it.”
Nocco said the sheriff’s office is looking into the report from the woman who said Reeves confronted her about texting at the theater in December.
“What we’re doing is going back now, our detectives are investigating it and seeing if we can pull video and see is it the same person,” Nocco said. “We’re going to look into this matter.”
you dont really look very hard do you
By the way... A first degree murderer, no....a killer...most assuredly.
Just like all the others.
