Lawyer In Renisha McBride Case Says Shooting Was "Justified"
SAY WHAT?! Lawyer For Man Who Shot Renisha McBride Says It Was “Justified” (DETAILS)
The lawyer representing the man who was implicated in the shooting and death of Renisha McBride believes evidence will show the murder was “justified.”
-___-
McBride died after being shot in the face in the early hours of Saturday on the front porch of a home in Dearborn Heights, Michigan as she went to seek help after being involved in a car accident.
Bloomfield Hills attorney Cheryl Carpenter tells Huff Post:
“On that night he was woken up. … Everything was dark in the house, and he was awoken by sounds of a person or persons trying to get into his home,”
The site reports:
Carpenter said she would not comment on the alleged shooting or other details of the incident with the investigation underway, including a report that the homeowner told police he had discharged his shotgun accidentally.
But Carpenter adds:
“He called 911 right away. On the night of the shooting, he completely cooperated with police on his own. He went in and made a statement to them.”
And here’s the kicker. When speaking to the Detroit News, Carpenter says:
“I’m confident when the evidence comes, it will show that my client was justified and acted as a reasonable person would who was in fear for his life.”
SMH!
The case has received national coverage, as the mystery remains on how a woman looking for help ended up dead.
We pray and hope another supposed “justified” death of an unarmed African-American goes without justice.
