Reeves, historically proven by other witnesses, had a bug in his behind about people texting.
When someone refused to bow to his will (as an ex-cop, his will is LAW) and dared to defy him, he shot the impudent upstart.
Yeah... it’s really tragic when retired cops discover they’re regular people like the rest of us peons, isn’t it?
Occupational hazard.
His attorney is now grasping at straws with the UFO defense as he knows that the popcorn defense was going nowhere.
Even if there was a UFO it still wouldn’t help him as he appears to have been a serial theatre antagonist:
Sheriff Nocco said: ‘Other people are now saying this happened to them. We are currently trying to verify those statements, using credit card statements to make sure they were definitely at the movies when they said they were. If we can verify that then it gives us even more to go on.’
I’m a major proponent of stand your ground, CCW, open carry etc but I can tell you I would never even think to shoot somebody for throwing popcorn on me if thats what happened. Thats just not cause for fear for your life. I don’t see a jury looking at it that way either.
If the guy threw popcorn on you and said I’m going to eff you up and came at you then maybe you have a defense.
this is what happens when two *ssholes cross paths.
throwing ANY object at another person’s face is also a no no so this gives the reasonable doubt opening.
assuming this fails, he will claim “cop syndrome”.
