If you need to pick and choose which portions of the eyewitness accounts you will believe to suit your desired trial outcome, that is your prerogative in this forum. Just don't expect the rest of us to take your opinions seriously.
You seem a bit sensitive about this.
You’re all jacked up over your confusion about this 22 month vs 3 year old thing, which may be one of the least significant details of the entire story. It has exactly zero bearing on what transpired that day, unless you think the guy was shot for lying about the age of his daughter.
I apologize for pointing out that your ‘quote’ was not a quote at all, but an eyewitness report. YOu do get that there is a difference, right?
We’re not the DA so we don’t have all the facts. Which leaves speculation for many issues. Borrowing your format:
Fact: Reeves knowingly entered the theater armed with a gun in violation of the establishment’s ‘No guns’ policy.
Reeves was willing to violate one theater rule in order to enforce another? Or did he just intend to kill a texter, which was ultimately a veteran and father of a 3 year old girl?
If Reeves’ Deputy son was also coming to the showing it cannot be asserted that he was armed for self-defense. That’s means he was carrying the gun into a ‘no gun’ establishment with the intent to kill. The shooting was pre-meditated. He should have been charged with 1st degree murder.
So many things are going against Reeves living much longer. In particular the widow’s lawyers. She doesn’t need lawyers for Reeves prosecution but for a civil suit against him and his estate. I won’t be be surprised in the least if Reeves is extended a professional courtesy this weekend and he’s found to have taken his own life.
Eyewitness accounts ( video below)don’t put Mr Reeves actions in a very good light.
Particularly the Air Force col.who was closest to him, who said Reeves made a statement about “ throw popcorn at me”, after shooting Oulson . Now, I’m not going to say that Mr. Oulson wasn’t a jerk too, but after watching the theater video, it’s clear to me that Reeves had the gun in hand, and shot Oulson in a split second after the popcorn was thrown. He had just returned from the lobby and exchanged words with Oulson. Keep in mind, he shot two people in that theater and ruined everyone’s day, and two people’s lives... over thrown popcorn. He clearly wasn’t in fear for his life.
