State v. Washington

Syllabus

We granted Washington's petition for a writ of certiorari to review the court of appeals' decision in State v. Washington, 424 S.C. 374, 818 S.E.2d 459 (Ct. App. 2018). We hold the trial court erred in giving an accomplice liability instruction, and we hold Washington was prejudiced by this error. Therefore, we affirm in part, vacate in part, and reverse in part, and we remand to the circuit court for a new trial on the charge of voluntary manslaughter.
