Nelson v. Commonwealth

Facts:

Defendant in Prince William was charged with DUI and operating a vehicle as an habitual offender, after his sister told police that she lost control of a car she was driving when defendant grabbed the steering wheel, causing the car to veer off the road and into a guardrail. Although defendant changed his story several times, he testified at trial that he grabbed the steering wheel to avoid a collision with a truck which his sister did not see. The trial court denied defendant's motion to strike the charges, and also denied defendant's motion to set aside the jury's verdict finding defendant guilty of both charges. The appellate court held that (1) the jury was entitled to disbelieve defendant's statement that he took control of the vehicle to avoid an accident with a truck; (2) for purposes of the DUI statute and the habitual offender statute, defendant exercised sufficient control over the vehicle to support his convictions under both statutes; and (3) neither the jury's guilty verdicts nor the trial court's refusal to set them aside constituted error as a matter of law.

Holdings:

            The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • The mischief addressed by the Virginia statute on driving under the influence (DUI), Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-266, is the risk of harm posed by vehicles under the control of intoxicated individuals. Whether that risk comes from an inebriated passenger who forcibly takes control of the steering wheel or from a drunk driver should not matter. The brevity of actual control likewise does not place the risk of harm outside the intended scope of the statute. A passenger steering a vehicle, without controlling the accelerator or brakes, may be deemed a driver under the DUI statute. The habitual offender statute, Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-357(A), should be viewed no differently. There too, the mischief addressed by that statute does not exclude, as a matter of law, brief exercises of physical control over a vehicle's operation. For similar policy reasons, the legislature abrogated the common law doctrine of necessity as a defense to an habitual offender charge.

Stone 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. Code Ann. § 16.1-136, the circuit court amended to DUI second offense the warrant on which he was convicted of DUI first offense in a district court.

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.

Holdings:

            The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-268.2 provides that any person who operates a motor vehicle upon Virginia highways consents to have blood or breath samples taken from him if he is arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) within three hours of the alleged offense. The purpose of the implied consent law requiring the test to be taken is to determine the concentration of alcohol in a driver's blood or breath sample, and thereby determine the driver's state of intoxication or sobriety. Failure to comply with Va. Code § 18.2-268.2 or companion statutes precludes introduction of the relevant test results in proof of DUI. The statutory steps relating to taking, handling, identifying, and disposing of blood or breath samples are procedural and not substantive, and substantial compliance with such procedures is sufficient.

Black v. Commonwealth

Facts:

Defendant was convicted in the Circuit Court of Prince William (Virginia) of DUI in violation of Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-266. He had previously pled guilty to speeding in violation of Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-870. Both charges arose from the same course of driving. He asserted that the DUI conviction was barred by Va. Code Ann. § 19.2-294.1 because the speeding conviction constituted a conviction for reckless driving.

            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 the plain and unambiguous terms of Va. Code Ann. § 19.2-294.1, one may not be charged and convicted of both DUI and reckless driving. A conviction of either DUI or reckless driving, whether in simultaneous or successive prosecutions, requires dismissal of the other charge if the other charge arose from the same act or acts. Virginia 's double jeopardy statute, Va. Code Ann. § 19.2-294, prohibits multiple convictions for separate offenses arising out of same act, except where convictions obtained in single prosecution. Reckless driving and speeding are separate and distinct offenses.
