Curtis Reeves - Defendant
There is no dispute that a retired police captain shot and killed a finance manager during a movie theater argument, but jurors will decide if it was self-defense. Curtis Reeves, 79, stands trial for allegedly murdering Chad Oulson, 43, in 2014. You can watch in the player above.
Reeves was sitting behind Oulson in a movie theater on Jan. 13, 2014, in Pasco County, Florida, and complained about the man texting during previews for the film Lone Survivor. Oulson, a U.S. Navy veteran and the father of a 2-year-old girl, told Reeves he was communicating with his daughter’s babysitter. Reeves, a retired captain for the Tampa Police Department, asked for a manager to intervene. He returned to the theater and argued with Oulson. Oulson allegedly threw popcorn at him, and the retired police captain shot and killed him. This round also grazed the hand of Chad’s widow Nicole Oulson.
Reeves maintained self-defense, that Oulson was coming over the seats to punch him. His attorneys unsuccessfully pushed for the state’s “Stand Your Ground” law to apply.
“Did you want to shoot him?” Reeves’ attorney asked in a 2017 hearing.
“Absolutely not.”
“So why did you shoot?” the attorney said.
“Well, at that point it was his life or mine,” Reeves said.
When asked if he felt Oulson was going to hurt him, Reeves affirmed, fighting back tears, “No question.”
Nicole Oulson testified that she had her hand out to try to restrain her husband during the shooting. She described Reeves at the instigator in this fatal confrontation. For example, he kept needling Oulson after returning from trying to get a manager and said something to the effect of, “I see that you put the phone away now that I went to get management.”
“It was not a polite, ‘Oh, thank you for putting it away,'” Oulson said, according to The Tampa Bay Times. “It was to keep nagging at Chad . . . to keep the argument going.”

This dude shouldve been tried and convicted six years ago.....our system is broken
BECAUSE HE IS A COP AND THAT IS WHY. COPS IN FLORIDA ARE USELESS AND DO NOTHING
Why? Mr Reeves was the one that was assaulted with a phone and popcorn in the face. He had to stand his ground PERIOD. Smh
Prosecutor's doing a great job ---- Justice for Chad Oulson & his family!!
I like the Prosecutor a lot! I like how he questions, so clear and easy without being nasty
@@gretchenzwicker338 unlike his two rude defense baldies.
she was going to sue the theater in a civil suit but that was a few years ago.
@@margie3389 the the rudest defense ever
@@thistle3274 My thoughts exactly.
Jesus wept 🤦♀️ these lies. I hope they see through him. Being older doesn’t excuse murder.
This old selfrightious bully should have been held responsable for the meaningless killing of a young man 8 years ago!
I pray for justice for the Oulson family 🙏.
Reeves shows absolutely no remorse for this senseless act.
Showing remorse goes a long way guilty or not,
It wasn't senseless
to Reeves it's his job !
That is because the retired road pirate is a compulsive pathogical liar, this type of narcissistic sociopath is not capable of empathy.
Well said Russell Weber!!!!
This is so painful to listen to this old Narcissis. He's guilty and everyone in that room knows it.
Not guilty
@@conservaknitter9812 guilty as sin
" He's guilty and everyone in that room knows it."
Except the Jury.
Mr. Reeves sounded very COLD and RIGID on the witness stand. I'm sure the jury will see that. Never really express any remorse for killing another human being and disabling another for life.
Yes. No remorse. Just I killed. I am programmed to when attacked. Missed a trick the defence. Should have gone half Kyle R and go all teary
How can a Shark
show Remorse !?
@@zzhughesd Let's get this strait Mr Olsen was not sticking a gun in his face like Kyle was right.
@@zzhughesd and
@@lyndawadsworth8572 correct. A gun fight. Only one at the fight. Kyle at least had credible threats
He is a liar and so is his wife. No matter what the outcome I will be thinking of Chad Oulsons family♥️
I wonder how many times this retired road pirate smacked around his wife drunk, it isn't hard to figure out why the wife lied for this retired crook with a badge.
@@donmoore7785 Most adult children would attend court if a parent was standing trial, yet the only time we've seen his son and daughter was when they testified.
So glad they used this lawyer to grille him..
Totally agree. He goes at just the right pace and is very clear in his questioning.
Yep. The other one is just dreadful!
It's all on video. The prosecution looks like clowns.
@@donmoore7785 he sucked. Not guilty
I have to say, I really feel for Nicole Oulson, having to sit there and listen to these lies whilst keeping her composure.
Whilst? Lol
She looks as though she’s ready to explode
It appears this was not the first time this Bully had a confrontation with someone at the movie theater. It appears this was a regular thing for this old BULLY
Yes at least 3 others came forward after this happened. I wonder how many others experienced him because I am sure there were many
What day of the trial was that testified to ? I don’t recall seeing it .
@@Elizabethvaughan1 they didn’t testify at trial. The media has covered it. Reeves has a pattern of behavior.
@@publicknowledge4262 clearly that should have no bearing on the trial as the jury will not hear it unless they testify under oath .Perhaps the State should have called them as witnesses .
Reminds me of Michael Drejka who shot and killed a young father after the girlfriend parked in a handicap spot….he had been policing that handicap spot for months and continually started arguments with people who parked there….the shooting was only a matter of time….
Prosecution exposing all his phoney ailments. Notice how he wont just answer a ? ,he has to explain it. He clearly feels smarter than everybody else.
He has an advantage over a regular criminal on the stand. He knows how to conduct himself because as an officer I bet he had to testify on many of his cases. So he is well prepared for the cross. Jury is going to rely heavily on his police background could either be good or bad depending on how they view it. I'm afraid it will go to his favor. They are going to ignore the beginning of this situation and only go to the part of the supposed cell phone throw at him.ans the popcorn. That is where I feel they are going to say he was justifiable.
@@denben8530 The only part that is relevant to the self-defense claim was the part where Chad threw his cell phone and continued the assault. Talking to someone is not provocation unless he used fighting words, which no one alleged he did, not even the prosecution, at any point. It didn't rise to legal provocation. He was well within the law the entire time during that encounter. The only person who broke the law was Chad Oulson. And he paid for it with his life. And it was a complete justified shoot. Don't wanna get show, don't assault people and put them in reasonable fear. Pretty simple stuff.
Don’t think Reeves has ever been scared..
I think I know exactly what Mrs Olson is thinking - she probably wants to reach over and slap that smile right off his face.
He is a liar. You cannot convince me that a law enforcement officer in all his years NEVER felt as 'threatened' as he did that day...I mean that's just not possible!
An old person being attacked does not feel threatened? You have lost your mind.
@@general4690 Since when is throwing popcorn at someone translate into them 'fearing' for their life?
I mean where do you live? Normal people would have just ignored that and not taken the life of a former soldier, who fought for his country, a father and a husband. Losing his life over this guys itchy trigger finger will never be justified.
The way this retired road pirate committs perjury under oath with such ease shows him to be a compulsive pathological liar. My gut tells me this sociopath has lied under oath in court plenty of times, he doesn't appear to have any moral compass.
@@russellweber3466 I am 100% sure you could not name one "lie" he has made.
I thought he was smirking at times - He and his wife are both liars the video does not show any of this crap he is going on with - he pointed a murdered Mr Oulson he is guilty come on get on with it find him GUILTY lock him up
Did anyone else notice how previous testimony indicated Reeve's was afraid "for his life", or something similar when he went to report to the Manager how he afraid he was of Oulson, but in his testimony today he said he "wasn't really concerned"? This guy in my mind is obviously a fraud and lying.
Do you really expect him To tell the truth. I often wonder why ppl make comments like yours.
@@pnscar3 He's under oath.
What does it matter? He was assaulted. You want him to go to jail for being attacked by a crazy person? You people are insane.
@@pnscar3 That's because I try to believe the best about people. Obviously this clown doesn't deserve that consideration.
@@geoffpoole483 you would be surprised how many godless ppl lie on the stand.
Prosecution gentleman doing a great job…
Just like his defense attorneys, he can twist words around to suit his narrative. Oops nearly forgot the walking stick.
Reeves true nastiness is showing when caught in lies.
Tough guy Reeves keeps poking the bear and then kills the bear..
😲 I can’t believe he took the stand. I’m shocked.
He’s claiming self defense so he basically has to get on the stand to convey to the jury the “ extreme” fear he felt that caused him to shoot someone.
I love cross examinations!
Me too! It’s a game of chess, in mind games. Who can outsmart who!
@@fleepowers i swear 😏👍
Wasn’t there a PSA during the previews telling the moviegoers to silence their phones? That could’ve prevented this horrible tragedy.
He’s had 8!!!!!! Years of freedom ridiculous
Well Eric garners killers are still walking free to choke someone else.
Reeves answers…. You want me to read this whole thing. Yes it’s your statement. I’m asking you parts from it. Refers to statement as a thing. How much contempt do you need with prosecution when being tried. Just be nice and go along with it. Hate or loathe. Come across as a passable person of a compassionate nature. Maybe show some remorse as others said. Of a life lost under your hands. That way gain some juror points. Make judge more leniant. This is like a dressing down as a Cop higher management. Reeves got his demeanour wrong. Maybe no crocodile tears at 79 but some remorse required
The whole thing is so silly. It's as if there is not a video of what happened. Who cares about the statement. The prosecution looked like clowns.
@@thistle3274 Curtis is the one who told the police about the video. The video shows Curtis being assaulted. What else is there to talk about?
@@general4690 Cry me a river. Look popcorn. I must kill because I’m an entitled forever cop and we are always correct when we kill innocent people. Just check our track record. I suppose you believe Derick Shoven was being assaulted too.
@@curtwitter2906 so because someone was a cop it's okay to assault them? Great logic guy.
The retired road pirates inability to have empathy for his murder of Chad, shows defects in his soul and personality, he doesn't appear to have a moral compass or a developed Christian conscience, lying means nothing to a compulsive pathological liar.
Defendant smiles with a sneak glance to his team like “yo get me the eff outta here”
Haa He is choking. I love it and notice that when he is uncomfortable he no longer clears his throat
Bareable at 2x, watched part 1 and 2 .... Reeves doesn't come across as terribly as I stupidly hoped, he better get sent down for his trigger action murder, self defence indeed, what a sham of a case, feel sorry for Chad and family/friends.
Only because
you've never stepped on his toes !
he's still contradicting everyone's previous testimony, including his wife's, which may be why she's glaring at him
@@gjh9299 but to defense theory witness contamination so we are only to believe Curtis side of the story because he telling the truth you know (inserted sarcasm) lol who knows what side the jury will believe.
Typical narcissist…can never answer a question directly…deflect, project, gaslight. Can’t possibly be wrong even when presented with their own contradicting statements.🙄
What he should have done, is change to an area of the theatre... that is de~escalation, after asking someone to please turn your phone off...
He had a horrible temper, and it horrifically escalated.
I hope he stays in jail, for the rest of his days.
I think this retired road pirate will off himself after he is convicted and sentenced to prison.
😢..either way, ok
@@russellweber3466 Only if he is allowed to go home. If he is taken straight to jail he will not have a gun. I cannot imagine him hanging himself.
"What he should have done, is change to an area of the theatre."
What Chad should have done was turn off his phone, what chad should have done was not assault someone. Shouldn't have thrown his phone, grabbed his popcorn. By the by before all of that he could have actually went to another part of the theatre, there were plenty of rows behind he could have went to, which was empty and he could have played with his phone the entire movie for all he cared. See two can play this game, the onus isn't on purely on the defendant.
"He had a horrible temper, and it horrifically escalated."
Ironic because when you said this, it applies perfectly to the guy who assaulted the defendant. Talking to someone isn't a legal escalation unless it includes physical threats, which the defendant didn't do, the only guy who escalated it was the one with the objective temper and it got him killed.
"I hope he stays in jail, for the rest of his days."
Not going to happen.
Just imagine how abusive and corrupt this guy was when he was a cop.
Why the heck can’t we see the screen and shots of the actual seats and people 🤷♀️🤷♀️
Like a mother catching their child's hand in a cookie jar: MOM: Why are you getting a cookie? CHILD: I was not getting a cookie, I was just seeing how many cookies were left. C🍪🍪KIE M🍪NSTER
STRIKES AGAIN ‼️🤯
Over popcorn 🍿 what’s wrong with people. Does he think he’s going to get away with his actions.
Of course he does !
He has Always' been an Upstanding member of Society and he deserves to be justly Rewarded !!
So he thinks .
It’s Florida. He probably will. Land of the dumbest jurors in history
This retired road pirate has apparently gotten away with plenty of crimes, the easy way he committs perjury in court indicates he has lied under oath quite often. I wonder what politicians in Tampa he was a henchman and a fixer for?
He isn't too happy with the prosecutor. If he only realized that showing a little remorse would go a long way with the jury. Showing remorse doesn't necessarily come across as guilty.
So you want him
to fake it ?
How can he fake Compassion when he doesn't even know how to spell it !!
Psychopaths don’t show remorse
@@joni8090 of course not. In his interview with the detective immediately after the shooting he seemed to show at least a little remorse. 8 years later all remorse seems to be removed.
@@marilynglazier9794
immediately after his arrest and interview Reeves remorse was directed at the inconvenience of his arrest and of course absurdly having to explain himself !
The winds of time have eroded his lies because Truth cannot be forgotten !
Now all that remains is Survival and he has had 8 years to think about what the penalty means and nothing will stand in his way so he's definitely not going to care now about someone who was only ever a minnow to a Shark !!
@@joni8090 I am appalled that he was found not guilty. I have never seen so many viewers in almost 100% agreement that he was guilty and have a not guilty verdict come back.
Gee the Judge and her sighing, she must be finding it really hard going! And yet another break.
This judge sucks. She’s an embarrassment to our judicial system
I feel bad for Nicole. How violated she must feel, I know she is strong 💪🏻
I feel bad too
Is that the blonde? Is that the wife of the victim or his daughter?
@@MilkyWayGalaxyy Blonde Nicole with the green top on is victim Chad's wife. I admire her greatly for her poise and the strength she shows even though she must feel shattered inside.
Seems to be a lack of empathy for her loss
@@Jo.lawler Thank you. It is only under these court videos where I get a quick response to my questions
Furthermore, if he intended to harm Mr Oulson, why would he do the right thing by going to management FIRST ?
Why was he allowed to bring a gun into the movie theater???????
It's Florida,😌 duh
At what point does the state plan to disprove self defense?
So the “cell phone flying” was actually the reflection of his shoe…
Never knew a shoe could fly!! 💯😂
Only if he has the flexibility of a gymnast.
Some children turn 18 but still get coddled like one the rest of their life. Imagine putting a kid on trial for 6+ years for doing something like this? Almost funny.
He didn’t INTEND to harm him. That would be first degree murder; he’s claiming self defense but, it wasn’t.
Why do they take so long from the time of being arrested and charged to the court hearing to conviction???
Ex cop, son was cop also.Says it all !!
@@lyndawadsworth8572 I agree. Everytime I am around a cop/ex cop for an extended period of time, they show me that they are all the same. Dishonest, disrespectful, entitled, manipulative, hypocritical, rude, fake and disingenuous.
They are the biggest criminals in the world. They will lie to you and physically intimidate you. But they convince themselves they are the good guys.
Ex cop. 😳
@@lyndawadsworth8572 yup
Who takes a firearm to a movie theater?
That's just sick!!!
And a retired cop, OMG!!!!
His work record should be reviewed!!!
They were written in stone in the 60’s.
@@tinawindham6958:
If they have not been destroyed!!!
Yep
Has it been discussed if Nicole Oulson has or will file a lawsuit against Reeves for wrongful death?
I hope she filed it years ago so he couldn’t hide his assets.
I hate to be mean, but does this judge comb her hair with a pork chop?
I takes a split second and your whole life is upside down
He seems decent enough but his need to control and manipulate others is a big negative that ultimately ruined his life. Every step he took that day with respect to Mr. Oulson demonstrated his controlling nature. He had to have the last word even when there was no longer a problem. Ultimately that was his undoing and I do not think he will ever understand that.
The victim’s wife’s hair is literally YELLOW 😂
Prosecutor is asking Curtis Reeves the same question 3 different ways trying to get him to slip up. Curtis is a lot smarter than the prosecutor.
How long does it take to look at glasses? (👓)
Uhuuuuuuuuum!😕😔
did he not listen to the 200 people who have already testified before, who he's now contradicting, plus the video.Ugh
But remember defense hammered the point of witnesses contamination and only to believe Curtis Reeves story. Hope it didn't resonate with them. And I think the jury if vote ng then when they do research after this trial and see how he had a habit of harassing ones at the movies for even just talking with cell the defense paints him as a saint who could do no wrong because of all his background as a cop and swat and all that.
Swat? Swatting popcorn becomes life and death.
I love the short prosecutor he is good!!!! Sarcasm is great!!!!
Well, this old “B” got away with murder just like Zimmerman! People now you know when you encounter these fools you must be prepared! All I’m saying is don’t be the victim of a BULLY with a gun
Why does Mrs Reeves look so mean? She is scaring me.
Seems that she can't stand what her husband did... and what he changed from his report intially, and the change now.
Yes, She has not changed that bitter scowl on her face the whole testimony. I would like to know what she is thinking.
Mad Hatter cos she an old witch.
@@Jo.lawler you know hitler had a wife too
@@pnscar3 Did you know that Adolf Hitler was born and raised Catholic, so was his wife Eva. This retired road pirate is a compulsive pathological liar, by the easy way he lies under oath, the sign of a sociopath who can't feel empathy. If you want a glimpse into Adolf's Catholic soul try taking a good look at his 1913 painting of the Blessed Virgin Mary embracing her infant son Jesus Christ, the beauty is stunning.
The Law
is not above the Law !
But of course
some don't like that !?
Pinch and Zoom
will Always
save you !?
His wife's face is priceless, she knows he's a lying piece of crap🤣🤣🤣
He's a liar for sure. It's so obvious
How did I know this narcissist would testify? It was probably his idea. I would have put him on the stand too since it's his only hope, but I doubt his lawyer had a say...
They have to…..when defendants claim self defense they take the stand 99% of the time because they have to tell the jury about the extreme fear they felt….only the defendant can do that.
@@donmoore7785 George Zimmerman didn't, he was acquitted.
@@novascotiaskater1868 I agree he should, I just guarantee he would have regardless. Even the way he's arguing about the dumbest details on the stand they don't even hurt his case, it shows who he is to me
This retired road pirate has probably committed perjury under oath plenty of times, he lies on the witness stand with such ease.
@@russellweber3466 He’s a pro.
he said that he was coming over the seat with his fist in the instant he got shot OMG the man is a complete liar @1:03:10- when the murderer stood beside the prosecution u can clearly see at 75 years old this guy is massively big and tall in his prime he was probably very very intimidating
What, you mean stood beside the guy shorter than everyone else in the courtroom? Anyone other than Peter Dinklage would look like a giant next to him
@@tylercoon1791 OHHHH is he a short guy ? the prosecution guy ?
@@Misssssysparkles yeah
Hes moving quite gud!!!!!!! Now or am i being 🤔🤔🤔 got up with out pain on face .
1:04:00 - Prosecutor better be careful or Curtis is gonna shoot him. He's getting angry!
I am amazed at the comments from folks here, comments that represent the inexperience with human violence or decisions that have to be made in milliseconds, especially an individual who has spent his career dealing with violence.
When you deal with violence, you do not grow accustomed to it, you grow wary of it. Your instincts change your observations are heightened.
No disrespect to the folks in this tread. You draw the conclusions you draw based on your own experience I guess but I cannot get to guilty at this time - maybe later but I cannot get there now
What makes you such an expert? He should have listened to his wife and moved seats.
@@geoffpoole483 Maybe, sure. Maybe the defendant could’ve just ignored the phone light. Maybe the decedent could’ve responded differently, could’ve put his phone away like it is instructed. A lot of things could’ve happened differently - but when deliberating the application of law you have to rid yourself of the maybes and whether you like or dislike the person and consider all evidence and circumstantial conditions.
It’s intellectually lazy to assume he is lying. Could he be telling the truth? Assume that the prosecution is not intent on finding the truth rather, they’re more concerned with getting a conviction.
It's people like you that is the reason this world is so screwed up! We'll remember your comment if someone goes on trial for shooting you down for throwing popcorn smdh.
@@Ursweetplace No, it is the vengeance in your comment and quickness of your tongue that is what makes this world treacherous. Blaming, name calling, speak without thought or consideration.
Putting myself in Curtis shoes, with his experience, I can see why he reacted the way he did. Any cursory search on RUclips and police shootings should result in this simple understanding - anything less often means your life.
What's with Mrs. Reeves squinty eyes? Did the prosecutor feel those lasers in his back?
Catch his smile at 6:57
Even if he is convicted, he will not serve long in prison. His lawyers will get him out on felony incapacity. This is a scandalous case of wasted money and time. Why was the process waited 8 years? My respect and sympathy go to Ms. Olsen. I can't imagine what this woman has to go through.
By the way, I can't take the smug grin on the defendant's face anymore. He didn't even say he was sorry for the victim and his family.. That says it all.
Prosecution gentleman is doing a great job..
@1:03:35 and beyond all asked and answered
This murderer gets off scott-free.
These f’n jurors bit HARD on his “im just a gentle old grandpa” BS routine.
And the fact that the widow smiled and laughed and seemed un-bothered while testifying couldn’t have helped. Especially while talking about her husband being murdered. Everyone reacts differently but it definitely isnt a good look.
Apparently it was enough, because there was ZERO justice to be had in this awful case…
Drink has ice!!!!! Big deal
If the same thing had happened to his son the defendant would already be serving life without parole
I feel so sorry for Mrs. Olson and her family. My heart goes out to all of you 🌹
2 bullies clashed and 1 lost, because of a firearm !! WHAT A TRAGEDY !
Chad was not being a bully. What adult wants to be reprimanded by another adult? I hate when I’m sitting in an office and someone has to talk loud on their phone like anyone else wants to hear their personal business. They don’t even text but I can ignore them, stare at them, chime in on the conversation or make a call myself and talk louder. If I said “could u not talk on your phone it’s rude”, u think they would hang up? No, they don’t have good sense in the first place. Choose your battles . This was a nasty ol man who made an incomprehensible decision on a day of family outings…wtf
When is this trial gona be over?? This happened 8 years ago; now the trial is taking 8 more years. I'm not even in court, and I'm getting tired. Yes; the lawyers are amazing; but you know they're show boating for the 📷 s. I hope mr reeves stay alive long enough to get convicted. Yeeeeeees it was wrong for him to kill this trouble maker! But come on already;
Lets get this over with, and MOVE ON!
Couldn’t agree more.
Maaaaaan o maaaan!
They approach the bench so many times.
I know right. I hope he was in jail for the past 8 years? I saw this case come up again and I thought, wasn't this case over a long time ago!
The legal system intentionally does this. I think it's for the purpose of making the defendants sweat and reflect on what they did.
@@MilkyWayGalaxyy
You are sooooo very right!👍
@@MilkyWayGalaxyy He was not in jail. He was at home . They drug it out hoping no witnesses would testify. Every one of them did testify. The Defense were rude to every one of them and tried to twist their statements but they stood strong. 4 of them were sitting one seat over and their testimony shows what a liar this jerk is.
Guilty. Should be in prison. "In fear of his life" in a movie theatre 🤦♂️
Popcorn attack!!! 🍿 🤣🤣
I wish the defense attorney stop yelling and being dramatic.
It is so annoyed. All that is not needed to present your client's case.
WHEN HE SHOT THE MAN FOR SPILLING POPCORN ON HIM, HE WAS PUSHING AND LEANING INTO THE SHOT.
Pos trying to get sympathy from the jury 😡😡😡😡 lock him up !!!!!!
What a disgrace, an innocent Mr Oulson was murdered by someone who should have been upholding the law and setting an example, not acting like the head of the mafia who believed in ''shoot first and ask questions later'' and ''dead men tell no lies'' If it had of been Mr Oulson who murdered the old cop he would have been found guilty of First degree murder!!
Mrs Reeves doesn’t look very happy
Not guilty jury paid off
He’s a coward!
Escobar looks really nasty when the judge does not uphold his objections. And he is always engaging in speaking objections. I think maybe now the judge is starting to realize how manipulative he is with his speaking objections. The nicer lawyer sitting next to him is realizing they are beaten with the cross and looks resigned. Maybe Escobar looks so angry because he realizes it is game over.
His wife in back her face is getting more worried by the min. Oh dear. Tjokkie vir jou. S.a.
and he had a trial with out jury before took years to put him front of jury he was x cop old liar
I hope mr reeves go to the bathroom!😨
verdict is in.....not guilty
Figures
Sad day in a meet when someone gets off after killing someone over popcorn! So wrong!!!
The prosecutor is simply and efficiently making it clear that Reeves (who was the only one who knew he was carrying a loaded gun), continued to remain in and escalate the encounter by continually engaging Chad when it was completely unnecessary. He would like to make it about "milliseconds"... the problem is that those milliseconds occurred after a long chain of decisions that Reeves made, all the way back to his decision to bring a gun into the movie theater.
If Oulson just said to Reeves i'm sorry, i'm just texting my daughter and i will be done soon. Do you think he would still be alive?. But at 6'4 it's more likely he said F U this, F U that etc. So Oulson was the bully here. I don't know if Reeves is guilty or not but if Oulson did that he would be alive today.
Victim blaming is shameful. Turn your phone off.
If reeves would have just minded his own business or changed seats none of this would have happened.
I'm just hoping the jury see, s thro his lies it would be so unjust if he's found not guilty he's a arrogant grumpy self righteous angry man I hope nickole gets justice for chad..
Infuriating - constantly avoiding the question, avoiding responsibility and ultimately avoiding any real punishment for the fatal consequences of his actions... Seems this is an arrogant, power hungry, control crazed ex-cop who has been so used to having others do what he says for so long that in this instance he just couldn’t take it. Couldn’t bear to have his ego knocked, couldn’t stand to be disobeyed. So, for something as minor as texting in a movie theatre, this man let his gun do the talking and he showed he was still in charge. And apparently the judicial system thinks that’s ok?!
Sickening and sad that somebody lost their life, a family lost a loved one, simply because an egomaniac felt slighted. And no justice whatsoever.
I take back my belief he seems decent. Throughout cross-examination he becomes more and more controlling. Also, he admits his wife requested they move. His way of dealing with his wife when he does not seem to want to do what she wants is to not answer her, just ignore her altogether.
The L&C folks got it wrong again HA!
Thank for all Ppg’s care pop ppppppppppppppo pop pppppppp
I think they both behaved badly 😢 but one is dead,
🤔
Innocent. Mr Reeves was assaulted with 2 items. He stood his ground period 😣
