Before DC Superior Court Judge Danya Dayson, a homicide defendant rejected a plea offer that would resolve two of his cases on March 9.
Jordan Therman, 27, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder while armed, robbery, three counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, and unlawful possession of a firearm by a convict for his alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of 33-year-old Denzel Greenwood. The incident occurred on the 1900 block of 13th Street, NW, on Aug. 4, 2023.
For his alleged involvement in a separate shooting, Therman is charged with two counts of assault with intent to kill while armed, aggravated assault knowingly while armed, armed carjacking, four counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction, and endangerment with a firearm in a public place. This occurred on Feb. 7, 2024 in a 7-Eleven parking lot, on the 3900 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, SW. One person was shot.
At the hearing, prosecutors said they offered Therman a global plea offer to reasolve both of his cases. If accepted, Therman would plead guilty to one count of second-degree murder while armed and one count of assault with a dangerous weapon. This offer would also include that Therman’s total sentence in both cases would be between 20-to-24 years of imprisonment.
Kevin Irving, Therman’s attorney, said Therman rejected the global plea offer on record.
Parties are slated to reconvene on July 24.
