Bond denied for ex-cop who allegedly shot texting dad at movies

It would not surprise me if this guy uses a legal defense of "self defense".

Unfortunately for Mr Reeves, there were over 100 witnesses, including a Sumter County sheriff's deputy who stepped in to subdue the shooter. Another unfortunate fact for Mr Reeves, the victim was two rows away. The only thing that got thrown was popcorn.

Mr Reeves can hire a defense attorney and try the "self defense" strategy, however these attorneys don't come cheap. Reeves could also lose his policeman's pension if he becomes a convicted felon.
