Man who shot Black teen who mistakenly went to his door enters not guilty plea; trial is scheduled

Andrew Lester, a retired aircraft mechanic, is set to stand trial for the shooting of Ralph Yarl, with enough evidence presented at the preliminary hearing.
Yarl testified that he was shot in the head and arm after mistakenly showing up at the wrong home, while Lester claims self-defense in response to a stranger knocking on his door.
The case has sparked national debates about gun policies and race in America, with Yarl's family and supporters believing he was racially profiled, while Lester's attorney denies race as a factor.
