By Alex Greig and Snejana Farberov A Florida judge on Friday set a $150,000 bail for the release of a retired police captain charged with shooting dead a man for sending text messages in a movie theater, prompting a sharp rebuke from the victim's widow. Curtis Reeves Jr has been jailed since his arrest in January on a second-degree murder charge in connection to the killing of 43-year-old Chad Oulson. Reeves, 71, had been denied bail several times over the past six months. On his way out: Circuit Judge Pat Siracusa set a $150,000 bail for the release of former Tampa Police captain Curtis Reeves, Jr, seen here in court Wednesday, who is charged with fatally shooting Chad Oulson, 43, and wounding his wife, Nicole
