Theodore Wafer appears in court while Wayne County Court judge Quiana Lillard denied a motion to remove herself from a case involving Wafer of Dearborn Heights who fatally shot an unarmed woman on his porch, on Friday, April 4, 2014 in Detroit. Lillard rejected the motion filed by Wafer's attorneys, who argued that her previous employment with the prosecutor's office and associations with employees create an appearance of impropriety. Lillard was a prosecutor for more than eight years before Gov. Rick Snyder appointed her to the bench last August. Wafer is charged with second-degree murder after shooting Renisha McBride, 19, at his Dearborn Heights home. He said he believed McBride wanted to break in. Prosecutors say Wafer should have kept the door shut and called police instead of shooting. McBride was drunk and in a car crash three hours earlier. (AP Photo/Detroit Free Press, Regina H.
