A retired Tampa police captain on trial for fatally shooting a 43-year-old father for texting inside a movie theater in 2014 believed the man was going to attack him, he told detectives in the hours following the incident, audio from a recorded interview revealed in court on Wednesday.
Curtis Reeves, 79, had a solemn look on his face as the interview played for a Dade City courtroom on the third day of testimony in his trial for the second-degree murder of Chad Oulson, then 43.
Reeves, who was 71 at the time, said all he did was ask Oulson, who was sitting in front of him at the Tampa-area movie theater, to put away his phone as the movie Lone Survivor started. But he claims Oulson became irate and started yelling in his face.
