DETROIT – The trial of a suburban Detroit man who fatally shot a young, unarmed woman on his porch is entering a seventh day of testimony.
Jurors have been hearing defense witnesses for Theodore Wafer, the 55-year-old Dearborn Heights man charged with second-degree murder in the death of Renisha McBride last fall.
Testimony resumes Monday in Wayne County court.
Wafer is claiming self-defense in the 19-year-old's death, but prosecutors say he didn't need to use deadly force to get her away from his home before dawn on Nov. 2.
A former medical examiner, Dr. Werner Spitz, last week said a laceration on McBride's hand shows she may have injured it while pounding on Wafer's door. But the doctor who performed the autopsy found nothing remarkable about the hand.
The hottest stories ripped from the headlines, from crime to courts, legal and scandal.
