Kingston v. Commonwealth
Facts:
Defendant appealed his conviction by the Circuit Court of Prince William (Virginia) of driving under the influence (DUI), second or subsequent offense, in violation of Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-266. Following defendant's appeal de novo to that court under Va.

Holdings:
The Virginia Court made the following holding:
- In Virginia, when misdemeanor charges are initiated by warrant and a defendant is convicted of those charges in district court, he may appeal to the circuit court for a trial de novo. A trial on the same charges in the circuit court does not violate double jeopardy principles, subject only to the limitation that conviction in the district court for an offense lesser included in the one charged constitutes an acquittal of the greater offense, permitting trial de novo in the circuit court only for the lesser-included offense.

- Notwithstanding any incidental punitive effect it may have, the 60-day administrative suspension of a person's privilege to drive in Virginia pursuant to Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-391.2 constitutes a civil sanction and, thus, does not offend the constitutional prohibition against double jeopardy.

Keith v. Commonwealth
Facts:
Following a bench trial in the Circuit Court of Prince William (Virginia), defendant was convicted on an amended indictment alleging that he violated Va. Code Ann. §§ 18.2-266, -270 by unlawfully and feloniously operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol (DUI) after having been convicted of 2 other DUI offenses within 10 years. Defendant appealed.
If you are facing a traffic case in Virginia, contact a SRIS Law Group lawyer for help. You can reach us at 888-437-7747
Holdings:
The Virginia Court made the following holding:
- Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-270 enhances the offense and attendant punishment for driving under the influence (DUI) from a misdemeanor to a felony upon conviction of a third or subsequent offense committed within 10 years of an offense under Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-266. The statute does not suggest that convictions for the requisite prior offenses must precede commission of the third or subsequent offense. Therefore, any third or subsequent DUI conviction within the period prescribed by Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-270 triggers the enhanced punishment. Otherwise, an offender could commit multiple unlawful acts of driving under the influence of alcohol without fear of being punished for a felony merely because the offender could not be tried and convicted quickly enough between offenses. An interpretation of the statute that allows a defendant to violate it with impunity would be contrary to the clear legislative intent.

Leone v. Commonwealth
Facts:
Defendant was arrested for DUI first offense in Prince William, and prior to trial, he was again arrested and charged with DUI second offense. Prior to a trial de novo in the circuit court for the first arrest, the district court convicted defendant of the lesser-included offense of DUI first offense for the second charge. On review, the court reversed his conviction for DUI second offense based on double jeopardy. Although a circuit court had discretion under Va. Code Ann. § 16.1-137 to amend a defective warrant, there could not be a trial de novo for the same offense after an acquittal by a court having authority to try the offense. The impossibility exception to double jeopardy did not apply because the Commonwealth had been aware of defendant's prior DUI conviction and de novo appeal at the time of his prosecution on the DUI second offense charge. Defendant's trial de novo on the amended warrant charging DUI second offense could not be characterized as a subsequent prosecution for a new offense arising out of facts discovered after the conviction. Defendant was prosecuted for the same offense as originally charged and tried in the district court, of which he had been acquitted.

Virginia Court made the following holding:
- Upon conviction, a
violation of Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-266, § 18.2-271.1(A) mandates entry and
successful completion of an alcohol safety action program as a condition
of any probation. Section 18.2-271.1(F) grants continuing jurisdiction
over any person entering the Virginia Alcohol and Safety Action Program
(VASAP) until either successful completion or revocation of the referral.
That subsection prescribes the form of notice and the procedures for
revocation hearings. A trial court is authorized to revoke not only the
privilege to attend VASAP but also to revoke any part of the sentence that
the defendant was privileged to have suspended upon the condition that he
attend that program.
- In Virginia , revocation
of a suspended sentence will not be disturbed on appeal unless the trial
court abused its discretion.

Lawrence v. Commonwealth
Facts:
A general district court
found defendant guilty of driving under influence (DUI) of alcohol under Va.
Code Ann. § 18.2-266. Defendant appealed. A jury in the circuit court found
defendant guilty as charged. The Circuit Court of Prince William (Virginia)
denied defendant's motion to set aside the verdict and entered final judgment.
Defendant appealed.

The
Virginia Court made the following holding:
- When considering a
criminal conviction, an appellate court reviews the evidence in the light
most favorable to the Commonwealth. Viewing the evidence through this
evidentiary prism requires the appellate court to discard the evidence of
the accused in conflict with that of the Commonwealth, and regard as true
all the credible evidence favorable to the Commonwealth and all fair inferences
to be drawn therefrom.
- Va. Code Ann. §
18.2-266(i) permits a factfinder to infer that the blood alcohol
concentration (BAC) level determined by a timely breath test accurately
states the BAC level at the time of driving. While sometimes called a "rebuttable
presumption," the later-BAC-implies-prior-BAC principle underlying §
18.2-266(i) is no more than a permissible evidentiary inference that the
factfinder may accept or reject. Understood that way, the inference
violates no constitutional norms.

Frederickson v. Commonwealth
Facts:
Petitioner a resident of Prince
William sought an order to rescind or, in the alternative, modify the Virginia
Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) order of revocation of driving privileges as
a result of a DUI conviction.

The
Virginia Court made the following holding:
- Under Va. Code Ann. §
46.2-389, requiring revocation of driving privileges upon a conviction of
DWI, substantial conformity does not mean that another state's law
regarding driving under the influence must substantially conform in every
respect to Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-266, only that prohibition of the other
state's law under which a person is convicted must substantially conform.
- Va. Code Ann. §
8.01-15.1 places a burden on the anonymous litigant to show "special
circumstances" which outweigh the public's interest in knowing the
identity of a petitioner and prejudice to the petitioner to allow
anonymity. Section 8.01-15.1 lists factors a court is directed to consider
other than Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-208, which protects driving records
confidentially. Section 8.01-15.1 sets as a factor whether identification
poses a risk of retaliatory physical or mental harm and the age of a
person whose privacy interests deserve protection. Section 46.2-208
protects disclosure of driving records by the Virginia Department of Motor
Vehicles. Court proceedings involving an anonymous person is governed by §
8.01-15.1. There, the General Assembly outlines factors to be considered
for court proceedings.

The
Virginia Court made the following holding:
- Testimony given at a
former trial is admissible as an exception to the hearsay rule if certain
requirements are met. These requirements are as follows: (1) the original
witness must be unavailable; (2) the witness who is now unavailable must
have been testifying under oath (or affirmation) at the former trial; (3)
the issues must be substantially the same in both trials; (4) the party
against whom the hearsay testimony is now offered (or his privy in
interest) must have been a party in the former trial; and (5) the witness
who is now testifying as to what was said at the former trial must be able
to do so with reasonable accuracy. The party offering the testimony bears
the burden of establishing the witness's unavailability.
- For a witness to be
deemed unavailable, the proponent of the evidence bears the burden of
proving that one of the following conditions exists: (1) the declarant is
dead; (2) the declarant is too ill to testify; (3) the declarant is
insane; (4) the declarant is absent from the state and the party is unable

Holmes v. Commonwealth
Facts:
Following a bifurcated trial
in Prince William, defendant was convicted of driving under the influence
(DUI), a third or subsequent offense within five years, and of driving after
being declared an habitual offender. The court found that the trial court did
not err by admitting evidence of defendant's prior DUI convictions, but did err
in admitting evidence of defendant's refusal to submit to field sobriety tests.
The court noted that Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-943 prohibited the introduction of
the entire traffic record during the guilt stage of trial but held that
evidence of the prior DUI convictions was admissible because prior DUI
convictions did not constitute the "traffic record" as contemplated
by § 46.2-943 where the offense charged was a subsequent offense of DUI. The
court held that evidence of a refusal to submit to field sobriety tests, when
used as evidence that defendant refused because he believed he might fail,
violated defendant's right against self-incrimination under Va. Const. art. I,
§ 8. The court found that the trial court erred by admitting evidence of
defendant's refusal and that the error was not harmless.

The
Virginia Court made the following holding:
- Evidence of prior
driving under the influence (DUI) convictions is necessary during the
guilt stage of a trial for DUI as a third or subsequent offense in order
for the Commonwealth to meet its burden of proof. The Commonwealth is
entitled to prove the elements set forth in the warrant, and proof of the
DUI charge as a third or subsequent offense under Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-266
requires proof of the previous convictions for DUI.

- In order to convict a
defendant, it is necessary that the Commonwealth establish two things: (1)
that defendant was operating or driving a motor vehicle, and (2) that he
was under the influence of intoxicants at the time he was driving or
operating it. Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-266 makes it unlawful to drive or
operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.

Facts:
Defendant appealed from a
judgment of the Circuit Court of Prince William (Virginia), which convicted him

years in violation of Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-266, and of driving after being declared

The
Virginia Court made the following holding:
- Evidence of prior
driving under the influence (DUI) convictions and evidence of prior
traffic records are not the same. Traffic records as contemplated by Va.
Code Ann. § 46.2-943 contain prior suspensions and revocations of a
driver's license and prior convictions of moving traffic violations,
including, but not limited to, DUI convictions. Thus, while evidence of a
prior DUI conviction may be a part of a traffic record, such evidence does
not necessarily constitute the traffic record for purposes of the
application of Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-943.
