Where Renisha McBride was before she was fatally shot on a Detroit man's porch—and the screen door through which the fatal bullet was apparently fired—will be crucial evidence in man's second-degree murder trial.

Theodore Wafer, 54, is charged with second-degree murder in the death of McBride, 19, after she showed up on his porch in the early morning of Nov. 2, 2013.

Wafer's defense attorney said today during opening arguments that his client had "never been this scared in his life, ever" after hearing a series of booms and saw a shadowy figure outside his home.
