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:

  • When considering on appeal the sufficiency of the evidence presented below, the appellate court presumes the judgment of the trial court to be correct and reverses only if the trial court's decision is plainly wrong or without evidence to support it. Under this standard, the appellate court is not permitted to reweigh the evidence. Instead, it asks whether any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt.
  • In the context of the double jeopardy bar, considering Va. Code Ann. §§ 46.2-852 and 46.2-817(B)      together, both contain different elements. The reckless driving statute, § 46.2-852, requires that the accused be driving on a highway, whereas the felony eluding statute, § 46.2-817(B), does not necessitate that the accused drive on a particular roadway. Section 46.2-852 provides that a violation may occur if the accused endangers any property of a person. Section 46.2-817(B), however, provides that a violation occurs only where the accused endangers the operation of a law enforcement vehicle, but not the law enforcement vehicle itself. It further requires that the accused receive a visible or audible signal from a police officer to stop his vehicle. Moreover, 46.2-817(B), unlike § 46.2-852, proscribes the driving of the accused only after he has disregarded an officer's signal to stop. Thus, ifelony eluding and reckless driving constitute separate offenses in that different facts are required to prove each.

Code Ann. § 46.2-852 provides that irrespective of the maximum speeds permitted by law, any person who drives a vehicle on any highway recklessly or at a speed or in a manner so as to endanger the life, limb, or property of any person shall be guilty of reckless driving. The word "recklessly" as used in the statute imparts a disregard by the driver of a motor vehicle for the consequences of his act and an indifference to the safety of life, limb or property. The essence of the offense of reckless driving lies not in the act of operating a vehicle, but in the manner and circumstances of its operation.

Albert v. Commonwealth

Facts:

A jury in the Circuit Court of Lynchburg (Virginia) convicted defendant of reckless driving by speed, in violation of Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-862. 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:

  • When reviewing a trial court's refusal of a proposed lesser-included offense jury instruction, an appellate court must first decide whether the proffered instruction presents a lesser-included offense. The elements of the greater offense as charged must be examined in relation to the purported lesser offense, and where every commission of the greater offense is also a commission of the lesser offense, a lesser offense may be deemed to exist. A lesser-included offense is an offense which is composed entirely of elements that are also elements of the greater offense.
  • For a defendant to be found guilty of reckless driving by speed under Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-862, the Commonwealth must prove that the defendant was driving on a highway in the Commonwealth, and was driving (i) at a speed of twenty miles per hour or more in excess of the applicable maximum speed limit or (ii) in excess of eighty miles per hour regardless of the applicable maximum speed limit.

Simons v. Commonwealth

Facts:

Defendant sought review of a judgment from the Circuit Court of Lynchburg (Virginia), which convicted defendant, a habitual offender, of driving under the influence of alcohol and which sentenced defendant as a felon, pursuant to Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-357(B)(2).  In reversing, the court held that even though defendant had been negligent in operating the vehicle, defendant's intoxication had not been such that it had elevated defendant's conduct to the level of reckless driving. Thus, the court held the evidence had failed to prove that defendant's drunken driving had endangered others, as required by Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-357(B)(2).

  • Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-357 contains the criterion that distinguishes a misdemeanor violation from a felony violation. A habitual offender who is convicted of driving a motor vehicle after being forbidden to drive shall be punished as a misdemeanant if such driving does not, of itself, endanger the life, limb, or property of another, pursuant to Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-357(B)(1)..

Andrews v. Commonwealth

Facts:

Defendant was speeding in Lynchburg, and he did not pull over when he was pursued by a police officer. Defendant was in an accident, and the officer asked him what caused it. Defendant admitted that he was speeding. Defendant was convicted of eluding the police. On appeal, defendant claimed that his statement was in violation of his Miranda rights and the trial court erred in overruling his motion to suppress. The court affirmed the conviction and held that defendant was not in custody at the time that he made his statement. The officer detained defendant as a necessary protective measure. Defendant was questioned as the driver of a vehicle involved in a traffic accident, not as a criminal suspect. Defendant was barred from arguing that the trial court erred in failing to instruct the jury on reckless or improper driving because he did not ask for the instruction.

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:

  • On appeal of a conviction, the court considers the evidence and all reasonable inferences flowing from that evidence in the light most favorable to the Commonwealth of Virginia , the prevailing party at trial.
  • The question whether punishments imposed by a court after a defendant's conviction upon criminal charges are unconstitutionally multiple cannot be resolved without determining what punishments the legislative branch has authorized. In making this determination, the court considers whether the Virginia General Assembly has clearly indicated its intent to impose multiple punishments for the defendant's conduct. In some cases, the legislative intent to impose multiple punishments is unambiguous because the statute in question makes that intent clear. Where a statute provides, "a violation of this section constitutes a separate and distinct offense," such language expresses the legislative intent to authorize the imposition of multiple punishments in conjunction with other statutes.

The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • Va. Code Ann. § 19.2-294.1 provides: Whenever any person is charged with a violation of § 18.2-266, the statute prohibiting driving while intoxicated, or any similar ordinances of any county, city, or town and reckless driving growing out of the same act or acts and is convicted of one of these charges, the court shall dismiss the remaining charge.
  • Because Va. Code Ann. § 19.2-294.1 relates to matters of a penal nature and is remedial in character, it must be construed strictly against the commonwealth and favorably to the accused. The same act or acts means the same act or acts of driving and to contemplate a continuous, uninterrupted course of operation of a motor vehicle, without regard to the crossing of the boundary line between two localities.

Andrew v. Commonwealth

Facts:

Defendant sought review of a judgment of the Circuit Court of Lynchburg (Virginia), which convicted him in a bench trial of reckless driving.

Holdings:

The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • When the sufficiency of the evidence is challenged on appeal, the court views the evidence in the light most favorable to the Commonwealth, granting to it all reasonable inferences fairly deducible therefrom.
  • The distinction between negligent driving and reckless driving is the critical element in determining punishment under Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-357. In defining the conduct that gives rise to felony punishment under 46.2-357(B)(2), the legislature uses the phrase, driving that endangers the life, limb, or property of another, language virtually identical to that found in the statute defining reckless driving. Drunk driving does not per se deserve felony treatment under § 46.2-357. While evidence of intoxication is a factor that might bear upon proof of dangerous or reckless driving in a given case, it does not, of itself, prove reckless driving. The essence of the offense of reckless driving lies not in the act of operating a vehicle, but in the manner and circumstances of its operation.
