A homeowner will be charged with second-degree murder in the shooting of an unarmed woman on a suburban Detroit porch earlier this month.
Renisha McBride, 19, was killed on Nov. 2 in Dearborn Heights, Mich., when she went to a man's porch seeking help after a car crash, according to police.
Manslaughter, yes, but murder? I just don't see it. Murder has to involve malice, and I don't see malice here. I do see manslaugher, but murder charges are ridiculous. What does everybody else think?

Second Degree Murder: Definition
Second-degree murder is ordinarily defined as: 1) an intentional killing that is not premeditated or planned, nor committed in a reasonable "heat of passion"; or 2) a killing caused by dangerous conduct and the offender's obvious lack of concern for human life. Second-degree murder may best be viewed as the middle ground between first-degree murder and voluntary manslaughter.

Well the guy deserves to stand trial.
I for one hope that this won't turn into another TM... with all the race-baiting loonies coming out of the woodwork.
People are already blaming the victim for staggering too far while seeking help.
Driving drunk and/or stoned and crashing into a parked car makes you a victim? Why not seek help at/near the "accident" scene? Why wait two hours and go six blocks? Seeking help could amount to honking the horn or screaming for help.

He could go free with a high-priced lawyer willing to scream "castle doctrine".

So you believe she should be shot in the face for being drunk and not taking the appropriate actions to seek help?
I wouldn't think so. But where I come from, being shot dead while seeking help certainly does.
No but paying home visits to complete strangers in the middle of the the night while drunk, high and bleeding is not the best of ideas.
Is murder always a life sentence?At least Zimmerman was getting his ass kicked on his back. This wet your pants scared conservative was terrified through a locked door.
You guys don't get it both ways. If you want yours guns you also get the responsibility. If you kill someone for no good reason you go to prison for the rest of your life, just like everyone else.
