	Police: Suspect in La. Priest's Death Confessed Westport News July 27, 2011 http://www.westport-news.com/news/article/Police-Suspect-in-La-priest-s-death-confessed-1618214.php BAY ST. LOUIS, Miss. (AP) — A Mississippi police investigator has testified Jeremy Wayne Manieri confessed that he shot a Louisiana priest when he awoke after passing out and found the priest fondling him. The testimony came during a probation violation hearing Wednesday where Hancock County Circuit Judge John Gargiulo sentenced Manieri, a convicted sex offender, to five years for not reporting to his probation officer and committing a crime. Manieri has been held in the Marion County jail on $2 million bond after being charged in the slaying of the Rev. Edward Everitt, a Hammond, La., Catholic priest. Waveland, Miss. police investigator Eddie Peterson testified Manieri gave authorities a recorded statement after his arrest in Florida on July 12. An attorney for Manieri said he was disappointed that prosecutors elicited such detailed "salacious" testimony during a simple probation violation hearing.
