Did you miss the part where the cop threw the first kernel of popcorn as was stated in court.
What I read was that the court stated being hit by popcorn didn’t justify the killing. Got a link?
“Authorities said a preliminary investigation had determined that there was no physical contact during the incident Monday afternoon at a theater in the Tampa suburb of Wesley Chapel. It was popcorn, thrown by Oulson, 43, that struck Reeves.”
