Following the defense resting its case in the Curtis Reeves stand-your-ground hearing, the prosecution called witnesses Wednesday as they began to make their case. 

On Wednesday morning, the prosecution called two Pasco County Sheriff's Office forensic unit employees to the stand.

The employees went over their duties the day of the shooting. 

During the defense's cross examination, attorneys continued to try to prove the investigation after the shooting was flawed.

"Forensics are important in a shooting reconstruction, correct?" attorney Richard Escobar asked.

"They are always important," said forensics specialist Denise Weigard. 

"And in forensics, you are doing your evolution, measurements or what have you, you want to be precise, right?" Escobar said.

"As precise as possible," Weigard said.

"Because if you’re not precise it can throw things off, right?" Escobar said.

Sumter deputy testifies

Later Wednesday, the Sumter County deputy who was in the theater the day of the shooting delivered his testimony. Prosecutors had Sergeant Allen Hamilton re-tell what he saw from his seat in the same row Reeves was sitting in, and describe how the argument between Reeves and Oulson escalated.

"Did you ever see Mr. Oulson throw a cell phone?" asked State Attorney Glenn Martin.

"No, sir," said Hamilton.

"Ever see Mr. Oulson throw a punch?"

"No, sir."

"Ever see Mr. Oulson climb over the chair and try to get at Mr. Reeves?"

"I did not see that, no, sir."

Hamilton's most compelling testimony, however, may have come as he described what he experienced after the shooting.

“After you heard the bang and the flash, did Mr. Oulson say anything?”

“It was something to the affect of -- I’m not verbatim -- ‘I can’t believe he shot me.'”

Hamilton then testified that following the shooting, he presented Reeves with his badge, disarmed him, and watched him.

“Did Mr. Reeves make any statements to you?” asked Martin.

“He initially had said he had been hit with something and for me to inspect him and look at him.”

“Did you do that?” 

“Yes sir, I did.”

“Did you observe any injuries?”

"No sir, I didn’t at the time.”

Hamilton also said he heard what Reeves and his wife were saying to each other after the incident, testifying he heard Reeves' wife say, "That was no cause to shoot that man."

"Did Mr. Reeves respond," asked Martin.

"Yes, sir, he responded -- he turned quickly to her, she was to his right, pointed his finger at her and told her to shut her mouth and not say another word."

During cross-examination, defense attorney Richard Escobar attempted to cast doubt on Hamilton's perspective and recollections of the incident.

Reeves, 74, is facing second-degree murder charges in the Jan. 13, 2014, death of Chad Oulson. The shooting occurred inside a Pasco County movie theater.

The argument started over Oulson texting on his phone during the previews. The light was apparently bothering Reeves' eyes, an attorney said. The argument escalated to Oulson, 43, throwing popcorn at Reeves and Reeves pulling out his pistol and shooting him.

Reeves' attorneys are hoping to use a stand-your-ground defense, which is the purpose of the ongoing hearing.

If the judge in the case finds in favor of Reeves, he will be immune from prosecution.

Reeves was on the stand for more than five hours Tuesday.
