A man who shot and killed Renisha McBride while she was knocking on his door just before dawn in a Detroit suburb was sentenced to 17 to 32 years in prison after an emotional hearing that had both the defense attorney and a judge in tears as emotional family members looked on.
Theodore Wafer, 55, who was convicted last month of second-degree murder for shooting 19-year-old Renisha McBride in the face, read a short apology.
"To the parents, family and friends of Renisha McBride, I apologize from the bottom of my heart and I am truly sorry for your loss. I can only hope and pray," he said tearing up, "that somehow you can forgive me."
Judge Dana M. Hathaway then sentenced Wafer to 15 to 30 years in prison, plus two consecutive years for the gun crime.
