Curtis Reeves testified this week that he feared for his life when Chad Oulsen tossed a bucket of popcorn at him while watching previews at a Wesley Chapel, Florida, theater. If the judge decides Reeves’ fear that Olson was trying to kill him was reasonable, the 75-year-old man will avoid a murder trial.
