Kennedy v. Commonwealth
Facts:
Defendant in Richmond was
convicted of being an habitual offender under the Virginia Habitual Offender
Act, which was based on a conviction of driving under the influence (DUI) and
two subsequent convictions of driving under the influence (DUI) and driving on
a suspended license. On appeal, defendant argued that his convictions for
driving under the influence (DUI) and driving on a suspended license arose out
of but one act of driving and did not, therefore, result from "separate
acts" as contemplated by the Act. The court affirmed the judgment, holding
that because defendant could have been convicted of driving under the influence
without evidence of the suspension of his driver's license and he could have
been convicted of driving on a suspended license without evidence of his
intoxication, the act of driving an automobile on one occasion could give rise
to several acts and offenses under the Act. The court further held that it was
not the same act that gave rise to each violation of the two statutes under
which defendant was convicted.
