PASCO COUNTY, Fla. — The high-profile murder trial involving retired Tampa police captain Curtis Reeves, which began on Monday, will enter day four of testimony at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday.
Reeves, 79, is being tried for second-degree murder and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon in the 2014 shooting of Chad Oulson, 43, in a Wesley Chapel movie theater after an argument over the use of a cell phone.
After eight years, the case is being heard by a jury of six people with four alternates. The trial was delayed by legal motions, appeals, and even the pandemic.
Reeves claims he shot Oulson in self-defense after Oulson threw a bag of popcorn and cell phone at him.
