After nine days of testimony nearly nine hours of closing arguments Friday in the trial of Curtis Reeves, the jury has reached a verdict.

Reeves was charged with second-degree murder and aggravated battery, however, Judge Susan Barthle told the jury they could find him guilty of a range of lesser charges including manslaughter, justifiable homicide, or excusable homicide.

According to the original arrest documents from the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office, the eldest of the men, Reeves, was displeased at the younger man, Oulson, for using his cell phone during the previews. The video also shows the shooting, after which Oulson takes a few steps before collapsing on the theater floor.Photos show movie theater shooting scene
