Judge Refused to Remove Herself From Renisha McBride Murder Case

Theodore Wafer

The motion was submitted by the defense attorneys and today, the judge in the Renisha McBride case denied that motion to remove herself from the case.

Wayne County Circuit Judge Qiana Lillard rejected the motion filed by Theodore Wafer’s attorneys, who argued that her previous employment with the prosecutor’s office and associations with employees create an appearance of impropriety. Lillard was a prosecutor for more than eight years before Gov. Rick Snyder appointed her to the bench last August.

Wafer is charged with second-degree murder after shooting Renisha McBride, 19, at his Dearborn Heights home. He said he believed McBride wanted to break in. Prosecutors say Wafer should have kept the door shut and called police instead of shooting. McBride was drunk and in a car crash three hours earlier.

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
