On November 2, 2013, Theodore Wafer shot and killed Renisha McBride as she sought assistance after being in a car accident. The shooting of an unarmed black teenager has similarities to the Trayvon Martin murder by George Zimmerman. Here at R3, we collected some of the editorials and opinion pieces that examined the shooting of McBride. We now follow that up with pieces published during the Wafer trial that is set to start July 21, 2014. If you have a piece you would like for us to include, please send it to us at [email protected].
