From [HERE] A suburban white man who killed an unarmed Black woman on his porch instead of calling police was sentenced on Wednesday to at least 17 years in prison after telling the victim's family he would carry "guilt and sorrow forever."
Wayne County Judge Dana Hathaway, who is white, followed the recommendation of white prosecutors in the case of Theodore Wafer, who was convicted of second-degree murder in the death of 19-year-old Renisha McBride.
Wafer, a Dearborn Heights resident, admitted to blasting Renisha McBride in the face with a shotgun through a locked screen door, killing her instantly as she stood on his front porch early during the morning of Nov. 2, 2013, allegedly seeking help after a car accident. The judge said. "I do not believe that you're a cold-blooded murderer or that this case had anything to do with race or that you're some sort of monster." [MORE]
