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.

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.

            The 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.

Holdings:

            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.

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.

            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:

  • 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.

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.

Holdings:

            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.

Holmes v. Commonwealth

Facts:

Defendant appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court of Prince William (Virginia), which convicted him of driving under the influence (DUI), a third or subsequent offense within five years in violation of Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-266, and of driving after being declared an habitual offender.

Holdings:

            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.
