The role of a tossed bag of movie popcorn played a central role Monday as a trial opened for a retired Florida police captain who fatally shot a man in a theater eight years ago.
The question isn't whether Curtis Reeves shot and killed Chad Oulson at the theater on Jan. 13, 2014. It's whether Reeves felt threatened enough by Oulson to justify firing his .380-caliber handgun after the two argued over Oulson's cellphone use in the theater.
