I live about 3 hours from Wichita.  I don't think the DA has a case against Mel.  It was probably the $25 bucks she spent for concessions only receiving a small bag of popcorn and a medium drink. May God rest her soul.

My wife was stunned and horrified at her husband laughing to the point of tears at the news of someone dying during a movie.  Just after all the brouhaha here and the vision of someone munching on expensive popcorn and keeling over like a statue struck me funny.  I'm sorry, after my life, I deserve a dark sense of humor.

So, I suggest a warning sign out in front of the theaters, just like at the theme parks, with a Roman Soldier holding a Pike, stating:

"You must be as tall as Pontius Pilate's Pike.  Do not enter if you are pregnant, have a heart condition, don't like gross stuff, don't speak Aramaic or have less than a 50% chance of living for another two hours."

Lovingly,
