"Prosecutors alleged that Hopkin and Reeves attacked the Grenfells after a side mirror on the couple's SUV struck Reeves, leading to a confrontation."
"Defense attorneys argued the viral video was edited and claimed that the Grenfells initiated the altercation, asserting that both Reeves and Hopkin acted in self-defense."
Chad Reeves and Reese Hopkin were acquitted of battery and vandalism charges after a jury trial involving a viral video of a parking lot attack following a concert. Prosecutors alleged that the two men attacked Jaime and Lillian Grenfell after a vehicular incident. Defense argued that the video was edited and portrayed the Grenfells as the aggressors, with Reeves intervening to defend a woman, while Hopkin was involved only in defense of his wife. The jury found them not guilty after lengthy deliberation.
