Theodore Wafer took the stand today in his trial for the murder of Renisha McBride
That's unusual, but I don't think he had much to lose.

Wafer first told police that it was an accident and he didn't realize his gun was loaded. He's now saying that he was in reaonsable fear for his life and shot the unarmed teen in self defense.
He told the court today that when he opened the door after hearing someone banging and grabbing his gun, the person (Renisha) moved really fast. He felt threatened and that's when he shot her in the face.
When asked why he opened the door at all and didn't call 911, he asserted that he couldn't find his phone and he didn't want to cower inside and feel like a victim.
I think Wafer is a liar. He should at least be convicted of manslaughter, IMO.
