Holdings:

The Virginia Court made the following holding:

When the sufficiency of the evidence is challenged on appeal, an appellate court determines whether the evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the prevailing party, and the reasonable inferences fairly deducible from that evidence support each and every element of the charged offense. In so doing, the appellate court must 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 that may be drawn therefrom. The appellate court will not reverse the judgment of the trial court, sitting as the finder of fact in a bench trial, unless it is plainly wrong or without evidence to support it.
A trial court is entitled to rely on circumstantial evidence in its determination of an appellant's guilt. Circumstantial evidence is as competent and is entitled to as much weight as direct evidence, provided it is sufficiently convincing to exclude every reasonable hypothesis except that of guilt. Where the Commonwealth's evidence as to an element of an offense is wholly circumstantial, all necessary circumstances proved must be consistent with guilt and inconsistent with innocence and exclude every reasonable hypothesis of innocence. However, the Commonwealth is not required to disprove every remote possibility of innocence, but is, instead, required only to establish guilt of the accused to the exclusion of a reasonable doubt. The hypotheses which the prosecution must reasonably exclude are those which flow from the evidence itself, and not from the imagination of defendant's counsel.
