FL - Chad Oulson, 43, killed in Wesley Chapel theater shooting, 13 Jan 2014 *Former LE arrest*

I will admit that I have been outraged by this case, from day #1. I have looked at CR, through the hearings that he has had, and just exclaimed (to myself) in exasperation: "How the heck did this happen?" He was not in fear for his life. He was packing.

I do not blame Reeves' wife, daughter and son for being in his camp and trying to save him from prison. I'd do the same for my father -- in fact, I'd die for him. It is such a tragedy that, after a glorious career, here he is with this looming over him. My heart goes out to his family who has supported him all their lives.

Unfortunately, Nicole Oulson lost her beloved husband, and their little girl lost her devoted father. When compared to a few seconds of illicit use of a cell phone, something Reeves himself had been guilty of doing just minutes earlier. However, that fact never comes out in trial except a fleeting mention by the prosecutor. A deal was cut, and no issue would be made of Reeves' use of his own cell phone in the theater. No mention of his gun being brought into the theater either. Signs were posted. No guns permitted. But that policy was not brought up either, at trial. Reeves got some breaks during the course of his trial. When it all comes down to it, Chad Oulson should not have had to pay with his life, for using his cell phone or spilling popcorn -- whatever. His human life was worth so much more than Reeves' "rights".

I sincerely hope, and I believe, that justice will be done.

here's hoping a dexter is servicing florida...the judge has been a genuine idiot and revealer of her preferences throughout...her last words were god freaking brutal and stupendously stupid....and it continues to be so as through the live mike

her preferences throughout...her last words were god freaking brutal and stupendously ******* stupid

What did she say?

 

[FriendlyFella1976]

I don’t think he will ever be asking anyone to turn their phone off in the cinema in future, so I suppose that’s a good thing!

 

[max99]

surely, Nicole can file a civil suit...not thinking the corrupt won't that up but at least make their lives as miserable as possible (the f'n Reese family)....what a freaking outlandish joke this has been...

 

[alexwood]

Florida.

 

[turaj]

What did she say?

Yes please what did she say? I think she is in someway connected with the Reeves family and her bias was so obvious.

 

[max99]

there was a time when it was said that the general public didn't have the info the jury had to make a judgement...now the general public has the court room experience per the internet and the info not allowed in court, per the internet...and anyone that thinks this judgement is legit is seriously compromised...

that judge is an incompetent, compromised, mess... her and her publicized/exposed little jug of water.

Florida.

That was my worry here. Since I've been following trials, the worst outcome I had seen was the Casey Anthony acquittal. This ranks up there.

WTF Florida?

I think it's "the heat". I've learned with this trial, that when it comes to Florida, you never know! I agree about Casey Anthony acquittal -- although I didn't follow that trial (pre-Websleuths membership).

 

[turaj]

listening to the defense twins...they really believe this was ELDER ABUSE. I can't believe it.

 

[max99]

it's not over.

it's taken eight years to reach this verdict because of his so called "connections"...

I think a lot of us are in shock.

Do you really think so? It seems that Florida has so many cases to be tried. Why would they bother to reinvent the wheel when the verdict was "correct" (in their eyes)?

Something going on in Florida. Good luck to that Reeves family...i hope he does not repeat the performance

it's not over.

How is it not over?

 

[HanniBJeter]

Unbelievable. I have to admit I’m stunned. How could there be a verdict so fast? I feel so bad for Mrs. Oulson, she looked heartbroken all over again. I wonder if Mrs. Reeves is happy about the verdict. Lol. All the time, effort and money put into this..what a waste.

 

[BeckyF]

He should be banned from theaters.

Does CR get to walk around Florida with a gun after all this?

 

[max99]

the "judge" is obviously one of his connections...
