White Homeowner Pleads Not Guilty in Shooting of Black Teen Who Rang Wrong Doorbell

year-old Andrew Lester pleaded not guilty to shooting Ralph Yarl, a Black teen who mistakenly went to Lester's home.
Lester claims self-defense but prosecutors say race played a role; Yarl says he rang the doorbell and was then shot.
Yarl survived being shot in the head and arm and plans to attend college to study engineering.
Lester's trial is scheduled to start October 7, 2024 on charges of assault and armed criminal action.
The case has sparked debates on racial profiling, gun laws, and use of force in self-defense situations.
