Retired police officer Curtis Reeves, the man who shot and killed the young father in the movie theatre because he was texting his babysitter, was back in court today. According to TV reports, Reeves gave up his right to a speedy trial, therefore his trial will take place next fall.

Until then, Reeves will remain locked up in the Pasco County jail, held without bond. This timeframe gives his defense attorneys time to prepare for his defense. IMO, this will be a tough case for the defense, since the whole episode was caught on the theatre's videotape.
