"He’s being charged with second degree murder. Curtis maintains that he was attacked, but in court, an attorney called Curtis’ claims “weak” due to the fact that other people in the movie theater saw him throw popcorn first".

HL is misquoting the defense lawyer completely out of context.

Show Me -- I don't see any defense lawyer quote in the above statement.

Do you have any reason to believe that this statement is untrue: "other people in the movie theater saw him throw popcorn first" or that this statement from the article above is untrue: "Witnesses insisted it was Mr. Reeves".

Every other account quotes Reeves’ attorney Escobar as stating the probable cause document was “weak”.

This the opposite of what HL says and I’m doubtful there are two different attorneys using the same phraseology, but in an opposite manner.

I also have not seen any other news article stating that witness say the shooter threw the popcorn, not one. They all say Oulsen threw his popcorn or that they don’t know who threw it.

And why does HL keep using Reeves’ first name Curtis as if it was his surname and then switch back to the surname?

Also of note, it is not original reporting and is bylined to HL Intern. It is not a well written account.

I am more likely to believe the local reporting with reporters that actually attended the arraignment and uses sourced quotes rather than an intern at a gossip blog offering a rehash of what they’ve read or think they’ve read.
