quote:
Reeves confronted Oulson about texting during the previews before the movie, according to a criminal complaint.
quote:
Reeves told authorities he was “in fear of being attacked,” according to the complaint. He and his attorneys have argued Oulson threw a cellphone at Reeves’ head and was aggressively leaning over a chair toward him when the shooting occurred. Prosecutors have said popcorn is not a weapon and added witnesses did not report seeing Oulson throwing his cellphone.

too bad for prosecutors that the security camera in the theater DID see Oulson's cell phone head toward Reeves' face and then fall between his feet
ETA: this was the most recent Rekeita Law trial watch of the... well... I guess last 2 weeks
Nick Rekeita admitted several times that he went into the trial thinking Reeves was guilty... but as the prosecution case ended and the defense started to present its case that his mind was flipped to not guilty
the defense being able to show on the surveillance video where Oulson threw the cell phone and then continued to attack Reeves really brought it home that Oulson was the physical aggressor and Reeves was justified
and Rekeita and Branca HATED the defense's presentation too... like the defense's opening & closing statements were TERRIBLE... and yet the evidence was on their side and they got Reeves freed

That's insane - that old fricker should be rotting in prison.

Hey, I didn't care for Cats either, but you've still got to be a responsible gun owner.

Pretty shitty that if video shows this the prosecutors would just pretend it doesn’t show what it does.
Prosecutors are an arm of the government after all and they have their motives.

Hey drexyl why don't you do some actual firsthand research on this instead of looking like an idiot on a messageboard.

the prosecution's way of trying to explain away the light seen in Reeves' face that falls down towards his feet...
it was a reflection from Reeves's shoes... like he's got some kind of reflective or light up sole on his shoe that makes kind of a square light that was picked up in the security camera's infrared mode
it was a really dumb way to try and explain away the light b/c it definitely looked more like a cell phone lit up than a reflection off a shoe sole

Not to be disrespectful to someone who is dead, but Oulson kind of looks like a douche. I don't know too much about this case, but when it happened and there was a report on it I remember seeing the pictures of the two and thinking "the guy who did the shooting was an older man (as in someone you should show respect to no matter what.. older). The one who got shot must have been a complete a-hole".

The guy he shot looks like the kind of douche trash who would need some old school justice.

I didn't know oulson personally but this hits very close to home. He worked at the local Yamaha/Suzuki shop near my house as the "financing guy". This dude was taking his wife out for a date and happened to text his babysitter before the movie started. Reeves, started shite like an old and entitled dickhead cop. Oulson simply stood up for himself against a dick complaining about using his phone prior to the movie starting. They squared up and Oulson was murdered in cold blood. The local court system delayed this for about 8 years. When it first happened, public opinion was majority that way. Chad's wife was shot in the finger pushing the gun away, but what's that matter.

In all honesty, these self defense defendants are only acquitted when the victim/s are white.
I'll leave that right there.

I'd pick up that bag of retarded logic and bring it to the Trayvon thread a little lower on the 1st page

Not logic but fact. We're batting .1000 here.

Agree, somewhat. This was a case that you would heard of possibly but you didn't. I think that's what he's saying. I just watched local cringe and the corrupt system let this happen.
Posted on 2/26/22 at 10:57 pm to Bdmcghee
What I'm saying is, anyone around here knows that we saw a miscarriage of justice.

Obviously the only way to defend yourself from the deadly force of a cell phone is to shoot somebody.

8 years to go to trial. That seems like an outrageous amount of time from accusations to trial.
