Re: Theodore Wafer, shooter of Renisha McBride, conviction or not? [W:44]
1.)It has already been done. You still haven't backed up what you assert.
This claim has been made but facts, links and quotes prove it wrong
These are direct quotes from the Wyane COunty prosocuter, NOT any reporters interpretations which is a false claim
all of these have come from links and quotes mentioned during this thread and others
"
evidence showed McBride, of Detroit, knocked on the locked screen door of Wafer’s home and that there was no
evidence of forced entry."
"
Evidence suggests that Wafer opened the front (interior) door before he fired through the closed and locked screen door"
“Under Michigan law, there is no duty to retreat in your own home. However, someone who claims self-defense must honestly and reasonably believe that he is in imminent danger of either losing his life or suffering great bodily harm, and that the use of deadly force is necessary to prevent that harm,”
“This ‘reasonable belief,’ is not measured subjectively by the standards of the individual in question, but objectively, by the standards of a reasonable person.”
“we have examined everything and after examining everything these are the appropriate charges and he did not act in lawful self-defense,”
"We dont feel its relevant to our charges at all in this case" (talking about the driver being intoxicated)
"Race was not a factor in her decision to bring charges against Theodore Wafer for the death of Renisha McBride"
“
No matter what kind of pressure you receive to not charge a case or to charge it, you don’t go by that,”
“I
f the facts and evidence are leading you, then you can’t go wrong. If you are afraid to make those decisions, then you need not have this job. If you are afraid you will lose friends or lose influence or lose whatever — lose traction — then you don’t need to have this job, because you’ll make decisions based on the wrong things.”
"We make our decisions based on the
facts and the evidence"
