Harrisburg man’s conviction for on-camera assassination outside city bar backed by Pa. court
Updated 1:46 PM;
A state appeals court panel on Thursday upheld a first-degree murder conviction for a Harrisburg ambush slaying that it took a Dauphin County jury less than an hour to impose.
The Superior Court’s call means Charles Williams, now 44,, will keep serving a life-plus-10-year prison term for fatally shooting Jawan Washington outside a city bar on Washington’s 20th birthday. The jury also convicted Williams of trying to kill one of Washington’s companions, who was shot 12 times but survived.
Senior Judge John L. Musmanno, who wrote the state court’s opinion, rejected Williams claim on appeal that prosecutors didn’t prove he was the gunman who opened fire outside Double D’s bar early on March 24, 2018.
