Popcorn Shooter Trial Day 6: Video Consistent with Apparent Lawful Self-Defense

Yesterday was the sixth day of testimony in the murder trial of Curtis Reeves, the retired Tampa SWAT Captain who shot and killed Chad Oulson in a local movie theater in January 2014 after the two men had a verbal altercation that became physical.The defense presented an additional three witnesses throughout the day. Two of those—Vivian Reeves, the wife of Curtis Reeves, and Dr. Donna Cohen, an expert on aging—were frankly of limited interest, for reasons I’ll discuss below.The final witness of the day, Bruce E. Koenig, provided testimony that is perhaps best described as tiresome—it did, however, present a view of the movie theater surveillance video that is strongly consistent with the defense narrative that defendant Curtis Reeves shot and killed Chad Oulson under circumstances consistent with lawful self-defense.The enhanced, slowed, and zoomed version shown in court yesterday was difficult to make out on the court’s live stream, but I share a zoomed and annotated version of my own creation of that video below, for illustrative purposes.See the text version of this content, including video of all of yesterday's trial testimony, here:Popcorn Shooter Trial Day 6:  Video Consistent with Apparent Lawful Self-Defensehttps://lawofselfdefense.com/popcorn-shooter-trial-day-6-video-consistent-with-apparent-lawful-self-defense/POPCORN BUNDLE!
