Renisha McBride shooting

[Bojack Horseman]

A 19-year-old Black girl crashes her car while drunk and pounds on a man's door at about 5:00 AM wanting nothing more than an ambulance. The homeowner hears the pounding and fires through his locked screen door, killing her. Defendant claims self-defense.

I think they got the right verdict personally in convicting him across the board, and I hope he's sentenced to life without any chance of parole.

Begin deliberations.

What do you think of the sentence in this case? Wafer was sentenced yesterday to 15-30 years for the murder charge, as well as 7-15 for manslaughter to be served concurrently, and an extra 2 years on top of the 15-30 for the gun crime.

I personally think he should have been given an indeterminate life sentence. If you were going to give him a minimum of 17 years, it should have been 17 to life, not 17-32.

Just a few years ago, she wouldn't have had any choice but to give him a life sentence. I think they changed the law in accordance with Miller V. Alabama and applied it to adults as well.
