U Won’t Believe What Happened To The White Man Who Shot Teen In Face For Knocking On His Door

Prosecutors announced Friday morning that they have charged Theodore P. Wafer with second degree murder and manslaughter in the death of Renisha McBride on Nov. 2.McBride, 19, was killed by a shotgun blast to the face. McBride’s family has said she may have gone to the home looking for help after crashing her car nearby. A toxicology report indicated McBride had a .218 blood alcohol level at the time of her death, more than twice the legal limit for driving. The death was ruled a homicide. Gerald Thurswell, the attorney representing McBride’s family, told CBS News’ Crimesider on Thursday that the fact McBride was intoxicated when she was shot “probably makes her less of a physical threat to anybody.” “The bottom line in this whole case is that he was in his house, the door is locked, he has a phone,” said Thurswell of the homeowner. “All he had to do was call 911. Maybe she would have been arrested because she was drunk – but she’d be alive.”McBride reportedly hit a parked car with her own car sometime after midnight. Last week, Thurswell told Crimesider that he spoke with a woman who heard the car accident and came outside to offer help. According to Thurswell, the woman said that McBride seemed to have sustained minor injuries in the incident, was bleeding from the head, and kept saying “I want to go home.” Police say they received a 911 call about a car accident at about 1 a.m. where a woman had been speeding down the street, hit a vehicle, and then left the scene, apparently on foot. Detroit police spokesman Sgt. Michael Woody told the paper that no officers were immediately dispatched because the incident was considered a low priority. The caller reportedly dialed police again, saying that the woman who had hit the car was back, but when officers arrived, she was gone again. What do you think?
