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.
