Summary

Curtis Reeves has never denied that he shot and killed Chad Oulson after an argument about cell phone usage in a movie theatre, so the determination of whether the shooting was justifiable self-defense, or a murder will most likely rest on whether or not the jury believes the testimony of various eyewitnesses to the shooting. This week host Vinnie Politan and Court TV anchor Ted Rowlands will look at the eyewitness testimony of both the prosecution and the defense – including testimony from Curtis Reeves’ wife and son. Get the latest updates on CourtTV and CourtTV.com and tune in to see Vinnie Politan and the entire Court TV team review each day’s testimony on Closing Arguments weeknights from 8pm to 11pm.
