In Self Defense 4- The Ted Wafer Case

In this episode, Don West and Shawn Vincent talk about the Ted Wafer/Renisha McBride shooting.

Ted Wafer, a 54-year-old airport maintenance worker, fell asleep in front of the television in his Dearborn Heights home on the night of November 1, 2013. He lived alone in the house he had purchased in 1994. The intervening twenty years had seen many changes to the Detroit suburb -- including a rising crime rate. In the middle of the night (around 3:45 am), loud banging startled Wafer out of his sleep. The noise came first from the side door, then from the front door. It was a “boom, boom, boom pounding” his lawyer Cheryl Carpenter told jurors at trial. “The floor was shaking.”

Don and Shawn talk about the differences in this case from the past two cases that also happened in a residence, and the outcome of the trial.
