A former D.C. police lieutenant charged in the fatal shooting of a library officer during a training exercise at the Anacostia Neighborhood Library is considering whether to accept a plea deal to resolve the case, his attorney said at a hearing Friday.
Jesse Porter, 58, is facing a second-degree murder charge in the Aug. 4 shooting of 25-year-old Maurica Manyan, after a grand jury upgraded the case against him. Porter had initially been charged with involuntary manslaughter, and a lawyer for Manyan’s family said they had been told prosecutors offered to let him plead guilty to that offense as part of a deal that called for him to spend three to seven years in prison.
Porter pleaded not guilty Friday in D.C. Superior Court to the upgraded charge, though his attorney, Brian McDaniel, asked Judge Anthony C. Epstein for another week to consider prosecutors’ plea offer. At the end of the day, according to charging documents, those in the training went to pose for a picture, and Manyan said she wasn’t ready because she was still wearing a mask to protect against the. Porter, the documents allege, said something like, “Ah, here we go again,” then picked up his handgun and shot Manyan in the chest.
