Curtis and Vivian arrived at the Grove theater, located in Wesley Chapel, Florida, and snagged prime seats in the back row of the theater. The lights dimmed, and the previews started. Curtis couldn't enjoy them, though, because of the bright light shining in his face. The light was coming from the cell phone of Chad Oulson, a 43-year old man sitting in the row in front of Curtis. Curtis asked the man to turn his cell phone off. The man didn't.  15 minutes later, Chad Oulson would be dead. ——————————————————————— In the last episode of this 5 part series, we discuss the ultimate question — was it reasonable for Curtis to shoot Chad Oulson? We also discuss the verdict and speculate on why the jury voted the way they did.
