Both parties had numerous chances to disengage. Neither did.

Some thing to consider

http://gunwatch.blogspot.com/2014/12/a-punch-to-head-is-potential-deadly.html

If you watch television and the movies, you might get the impression that a punch to the head is no big deal. That is not true. A punch to the head is a very serious attack. It can disable. It can maim. It can kill. The head is a vulnerable target, which is why an attacker aims for it. I first became aware of the deadly potential of one punch to the head in the 1970’s, from a long forgotten news story. Later, the son of a close friend killed a man with one punch. He was eventually found not guilty of manslaughter, but only after a long and expensive legal fight

So it’s been three years and they’re not quite to the point where they have decided if there should be a trial. Somebody’s trying to run out the clock.

"Both parties had numerous chances to disengage."

Reeves had no need to disengage since it was Chad who conducted on his own the violent confrontation. When Chad escalated the violence to a level that appeared to threaten the lives and safety of himself and his wife next to him, Reeves legitimately used deadly force to stop the violent threat.

Sadly, society, law enforcement, and the leftist-saturated judiciary are so politically correct and testicularly challenged today that Reeves will likely get kangaroo court justice.

Reason number 42 why I don’t go to movie theaters any more.

Don't be an a-hole. You'll eventually meet a bigger one.

Reeves and Chad got into a dispute after Reeves asked Chad to stop using his cell phone during previews.

Reeves didn't 'ask'. He ordered. Reeves was the one who initiated the confrontation.

Not 5 minutes before he 'ordered' Chad to stop using his phone, Reeves, himself, had texted his son to let the son know where he and his wife were sitting in the theater.

Clearly a case of 'do as I say, not as I do'.

One man is sitting get down, while the other is standing a day actively engaging.

It’s also a darkened theater.

I’m Going with self defense.

Wow, this story is about as spinning as you can get.. the guy grabbed his poporn and threw it at him, and the other guy was pulling his gun out before the popcorn had even left his hand....

This old man is going to jail, trying to spin this as stand your ground is ridiculous.
