This week, Tom and Chris discuss self-defense and the Justifiable Use of Deadly Force.
On January 13, 2014, Curtis Reeves went to an afternoon showing of The Lone Survivor. Sitting in front of him, Chad Oulson was scrolling on his cell phone... during the previews. Within minutes, Chad was lying dead on the floor and Curtis, the shooter, was claiming self-defense.
What happened? Did Curtis provoke this? Was Chad attacking Curtis? Was this all over a bag of popcorn?

The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
