Raul v. Commonwealth

Facts:

Defendant in Fairfax, a previously adjudicated habitual offender, was arrested after a police chase during which he operated a motorcycle at a high rate of speed, in gross violation of posted limits, approached a group of children as they crossed the roadway, prompting several to run and, moments thereafter, lost control, crashed into a fence and fled. At an earlier trial, defendant was convicted of attempting to elude police but a reckless driving charge in violation of Va. Code 46.2-852 was dismissed. Although reckless driving was a necessary element to the felonious habitual offender charge, the court held that the commonwealth was not collaterally estopped from bringing the charge because the record did not reveal the reason for the earlier dismissal of the reckless driving charge. Because defendant failed to challenge the indictment in the trial court and the court found no justification to invoke the ends of justice exception, the court declined to address defendant's complaint on that issue. The court found the evidence sufficient to support the finding that defendant's driving endangered life, limb, or property of others in violation of Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-357(B)(2) and affirmed the conviction.

Holdings:

The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • To convict a defendant under Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-357(B)(2), the commonwealth must prove driving by an accused that, standing alone, was so gross, wanton, and culpable as to show a reckless disregard of human life. When the sufficiency of the evidence is challenged on appeal, the court views the record in the light most favorable to the commonwealth, granting it all reasonable inferences fairly deducible therefrom, and the decision will not be disturbed unless plainly wrong or without evidence to support it.

Robert v. Commonwealth

Facts:

Defendant sought review of a judgment from the Circuit Court of Fairfax (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 claiming that the drunken driving had endangered nobody, defendant sought imposition of a misdemeanor sentence, pursuant to Va. Code Ann. 46.2-357(B)(1).
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:

  • One who knowingly drives an automobile on a highway under the influence of intoxicants, in violation of statute, is negligent. No case holds that one driving under the influence of an intoxicant must necessarily be driving recklessly. Thus, while evidence of intoxication is a factor that might bear upon proof of dangerous or reckless driving in Violation of Code 46.2-852 in a given case, it does not, of itself, prove reckless driving. One may be both drunk and reckless. One may be reckless though not drunk; one may even be a total abstainer, and one may be under the influence of intoxicants and yet drive carefully. Indeed, with knowledge of the condition, a person might, for the time being, drive with extraordinary care. A person under the influence of intoxicants may at times conduct oneself with the utmost care and dignity, and the person might do this to an extent which will manifest that which the person hopes to conceal. A person might tread a line with an exactness which no sober person would feel called upon to attempt.

Princy v. Commonwealth

Facts:

Defendant was charged with reckless driving in violation under Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-852. She filed a motion in limine seeking to exclude any testimony concerning a preliminary breath test (PBT), or in the alternative, for an instruction with regard to the blood alcohol presumptions found in Va.

Holdings:

The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-852 does not mention intoxication. Nor does the statute prohibit driving with a particular blood alcohol level. Evidence of intoxication is a factor that might bear upon proof of dangerous or reckless driving in a given case even though it does not, of itself, prove reckless driving. Therefore, in a reckless driving case, intoxication--not mere consumption of some alcohol--is relevant to establishing that the defendant drove her car so as to endanger the life, limb, or property of any person. § 46.2-852. In order to prove intoxication, proof of a defendant's blood alcohol level may be introduced along with other evidence concerning the significance of this blood alcohol level.
