Holdings:
The
Virginia Court made the following holding:
- When a jury decides a
case, Va. Code Ann. § 8.01-680 requires that the appellate court review
the jury's decision to see if reasonable jurors could have made the
choices that the jury did make. The appellate court lets the decision
stand unless it concludes that no rational juror could have reached that
decision. The same standard applies when a trial judge sits as the
factfinder because the judgment of a trial court sitting without a jury is
entitled to the same weight as a jury verdict.
- Though breath or blood
tests can provide evidence of intoxication, they are not necessary or
required to prove driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The
observable characteristics of the defendant's manner, disposition, speech,
muscular movement, general appearance or behavior may alone provide
sufficient proof of intoxication.
- Flight by a defendant
after the commission of a crime is probative evidence of guilt of that
crime. A defendant's admission that he consumed several alcoholic
beverages, together with the testimony of the arresting officer regarding
the defendant's appearance and lack of coordination, is sufficient to
support a conviction for driving under the influence of alcohol.
