Former Prince George’s County homeland security official Keith A. Washington was sentenced to 45 years in prison yesterday for fatally shooting one unarmed furniture deliveryman and wounding another at his Accokeek home last year.
Circuit Court Judge Michael P. Whalen said the evidence contradicted Washington’s claim that he was under attack by the two larger men when he opened fire. “There wasn’t one discernible injury [on Washington] to any of the medical personnel who examined him,” said the judge, who imposed a term five years longer than prosecutors had sought.
Washington, who was also a county police officer at the time of the shooting, addressed the court for more than 10 minutes, apologizing to his family and friends for putting them through what he called a “spectacle.” He spoke of his effort to live with “courage and integrity,” and he cited historical figures, including Sojourner Truth, W.E.B. DuBois, Crispus Attucks, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington.
Washington, 46, admitted no wrongdoing. At one point, he turned to Marilynn Clark, mother of slain deliveryman Brandon Clark, and said, “I did not murder your son.”
Several months after the shooting, Washington left his homeland security post, and he was later granted medical disability from the police force. His disability benefits and police pension are not affected by his convictions, county spokesman John Erzen said.
We get to pay for him to stay in prison and we get to pay his family his pension. The victim’s family victimized twice more.
