  • Under Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-269(3), a trial court can presume from the admission into evidence of several certificates of analysis indicating that a defendant was driving with a blood alcohol level of over .08 grams that an accused was under the influence of alcohol intoxicants at the time of an alleged offense.
  • Evidence that a defendant's conduct was so gross, wanton, and culpable as to show a reckless disregard for human life, Va.
