PODCAST: In 2014, Chad Oulson and his wife ventured out on a date night to a movie theatre. However, the seemingly pleasant evening took a fatal turn when a confrontation arose due to the use of a cell phone during the movie. Curtis Reeves, a retired police captain, confronted Oulson over his use of the device, leading to a heated argument. Surveillance video shows Oulson grabbing Reeves’ popcorn and throwing it at him. Reeves then fires a gun, fatally wounding Oulson. Curtis Reeves claims he had no choice but to shoot him because he feared for his life. Prosecutors say he was the instigator who went out of his way to escalate the situation. Now a jury must decide if Reeves, who is 79, is guilty of manslaughter.
