Detroit trial for Renisha McBride shooting death set for June
Associated Press in Detroit
theguardian.com, Wednesday 15 January 2014 17.32 GMT
A June trial is scheduled for a Detroit-area man charged with second-degree murder after shooting a young woman on his porch.
Theodore Wafer was arraigned Wednesday in Wayne County circuit court about a month after a judge in another court found probable cause to send him to trial. A not guilty plea was entered. His trial is scheduled for 2 June and Judge Qiana Lillard expects it to take two weeks.
Wafer shot and killed 19-year-old Renisha McBride through his screen door before dawn on 2 November. He says he feared for his safety at his Dearborn Heights home.
Earlier, McBride had smashed her car into a parked car about a half-mile away in Detroit. Witnesses say she was injured but walked away. Her autopsy revealed a very high blood-alcohol level.
