By Kenneth Knight DADE CITY, Florida (Reuters) - A retired Florida police captain accused of fatally shooting a man in a movie theater after a texting confrontation last month pleaded not guilty Wednesday at a daylong bail hearing that resembled a mini-trial. Curtis Reeves Jr., 71, is charged with second-degree murder and aggravated battery in the shooting death of Chad Oulson, 43, in Wesley Chapel, north of Tampa. Oulson died January 13 after an argument with Reeves over Oulson's use of a cell phone to text his 2-year-old daughter's baby sitter, Pasco County sheriff's deputies said. On Wednesday, Circuit Court Judge Pat Siracusa tried unsuccessful to complete a bond hearing to decide whether Reeves would remain in the Pasco County Jail, where he has been since the shooting.
