He testified that he was awakened by pounding on his doors and shot McBride - who was found to be extremely drunk - because he feared for his life. But a jury rejected his claim of self-defense.
Pounding on your door in the middle of the night? I would have called 911 immediately and NEVER opened the door.

“..........17 years in Prison for Shooting Dead Black 19-year old.”...
IF she was ALREADY DEAD, then it wasn’t murder or manslaughter. (Typical media brain fart).

If he’d been in Texas, he’d be reading this from his easy chair.

The Daily Mail is a British paper.

Opening a door at 2:30 AM to a stranger is never a good idea.
...and the very reason I have two large, snarling dogs.
Anyone that gets past them will face a .357...

IIRC, a guy got off after shooting people robbing his neighbor's garage or shed.
