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.

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.

Oliver v. Commonwealth

Facts:

Appellant sought review of his conviction in the Circuit Court of Prince William (Virginia) for driving while intoxicated, claiming that the court erred when it refused to allow testimony relating to his alleged physical inability to take a breath test following his arrest, because pursuant to Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-268.2(B), if appellant was unable to take the breath test, then police were required to give him a blood test.
