Summary
A Charleston County jury convicted Rashiean Washington of two murders and a weapons charge in the December 2021 killings of Damarion Champaigne and Jasmond Grant, sentencing him to life without parole. The trial centered on whether Washington acted in self-defense after an argument over money—or if he intentionally killed them and set the apartment ablaze to cover his tracks. While Washington claimed he feared for his life and fired in defense, prosecutors countered with cellphone records, forensic evidence, and a firefighter’s testimony disproving his story. After hours of deliberation, the jury sided with the prosecution, bringing a devastating close to a case that claimed two lives and destroyed a home.
