Carpenter v. Commonwealth

review of a judgment in the Circuit Court of Virginia Beach (Virginia), which
denied his motion to dismiss charges of reckless driving and evading and
eluding based on former jeopardy and violation of Va. Code § 19.2-274.

Holdings:
The Virginia
Court made the following holding:
- The double jeopardy
clause insures that an accused is not subject for the same offense to be
twice put in jeopardy of life or limb. U.S. Const. amend. V. This
constitutional guarantee is applicable to the States through the due
process clause of U.S. Const. amend. XIV.
- Although the language of
Va. Code § 19.2-294 does not state that it provides a defense of former
jeopardy, it amounts to such a defense in purpose and desired effect. Like
the bar of former jeopardy under U.S. Const. amend. V, § 19.2-294 prevents
the Commonwealth from subjecting an accused to the hazards of vexatious,
multiple prosecutions.
- To argue a violation of
double jeopardy protections or Va. Code § 19.2-294, a defendant must
present his plea in writing seven days prior to the trial date. Va. R.
Crim. P. 3A:9(b)-(c). If Rule 3A:9 is not followed, a defendant is deemed
to have waived these concerns. However, "for good cause shown,"
a circuit court can allow an oral motion prior to trial. Va. R. Civ. P.
3A:9(b)(3).

Dickson v.
Commonwealth
Facts:
Defendant was
convicted in a bench trial of misdemeanor reckless driving, in violation of Va.
Code Ann. § 46.2-852, and felony leaving the scene of an accident, in violation
of Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-894. The Circuit Court of Virginia Beach (Virginia)
sentenced defendant to two years in prison, all suspended, for the leaving the
scene of an accident conviction and six months in jail for the reckless driving
conviction. Defendant appealed.

Holdings:
The Virginia
Court made the following holding:
- When the sufficiency of
the evidence is challenged on appeal, a reviewing court determines whether
the evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the prevailing party
and the reasonable inferences fairly deducible from that evidence support
each and every element of the charged offense. In so doing, the reviewing
court must discard the evidence of the accused in conflict with that of
the Commonwealth, and regard as true all the credible evidence favorable
to the Commonwealth and all fair inferences that may be drawn therefrom.
It is the reviewing court's duty to look to that evidence which tends to
support the conviction and to permit the conviction to stand unless
plainly wrong. Indeed, the judgment of a trial court sitting without a
jury is entitled to the same weight as a jury verdict and will not be set
aside unless it appears from the evidence that the judgment is plainly
wrong or without evidence to support it.
- The word
"recklessly" as used in Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-852 imparts a
disregard by the driver of a motor vehicle for the consequences of his or
her act and an indifference to the safety of life, limb or property. Speed
alone is not a violation of § 46.2-852, but only becomes so when it
endangers life, limb or property. The essence of the offense of reckless
driving lies not in the act of operating a vehicle, but in the manner and
circumstances of its operation.

Rogers v. Commonwealth
Facts:
Defendant argued
that the Virginia Beach court erred in denying her proposed jury instruction
that improper driving, an offense set forth in Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-869, was a
lesser-included offense of reckless driving by speed. The appellate court
disagreed. Improper driving was not a lesser-included offense of reckless
driving by speed. Every commission of reckless driving by speed did not also
constitute improper driving. In addition, improper driving was not composed
entirely of the elements of reckless driving by speed. Improper driving
required an additional finding of slight culpability, an element excluded from
§ 46.2-862. The plain and unambiguous reading of § 46.2-869 made clear that
authority rested with the trial judge and not the jury to make the lesser
degree of culpability determination. In the alternative, an attorney for the
Commonwealth may have reduced a reckless driving charge to improper driving at
any time before the court's decision. Thus, only the trial judge, or the prosecutor
before the verdict was rendered, had the prerogative to reduce a reckless
driving charge to improper driving under § 46.2-869.

Brown v.
Commonwealth
Facts:
Defendant
appealed from an order of the Circuit Court of Virginia Beach (Virginia), which
convicted him for reckless driving and feloniously driving after having been
adjudicated an habitual offender in violation of Va. Code Ann. §§ 46.2-852 and
46.2-357(B)(2), respectively, contending that the evidence was insufficient to
support the convictions.

Holdings:
The Virginia
Court made the following holding:
- Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-852
provides, in part, that any person who drives a vehicle on any highway
recklessly or at a speed in a manner so as to endanger the life, limb, or
property of any person shall be guilty of reckless driving. Va. Code Ann.
§ 46.2-852. The word "recklessly" as used in the statute imparts
a disregard by the driver of a motor vehicle for the consequences of his
act and an indifference to the safety of life, limb or property. The
essence of the offense lies not in the act of operating a vehicle, but in
the manner and circumstances of its operation. Thus, the mere happening of
an accident does not give rise to an inference of reckless driving. To
convict, the Commonwealth of Virginia must prove every essential element
of the offense beyond a reasonable doubt, with evidence which excludes
every reasonable hypothesis of innocence and consistent only with guilt.
- Evidence of intoxication
is a factor that might bear upon proof of dangerousness or reckless
driving in a given case, but does not, of itself, prove reckless driving.
One may be both drunk and reckless, or reckless though not drunk, or under
the influence of intoxicants and yet drive carefully.

intoxicants and of reckless driving.

Holdings:
The Virginia
Court made the following holding:
- A test of the identity
of acts or offenses is whether the same evidence is required to sustain
them; if not, then the fact that several charges relate to and grow out of
one transaction or occurrence does not make a single act or offense where
two separate acts or offenses are defined by statute, as in the instant
case.
- It frequently has been
held that reckless driving and driving while under the influence of
intoxicants, where both are involved in the same occurrence, are separate
acts and therefore constitute separate offenses, and the prosecution for
one offense is no bar to a prosecution for that coupled with it.

Freeman v.
Commonwealth
Facts:
Appellant sought
review of a judgment in the Circuit Court of Virginia Beach (Virginia), which
denied his motion to dismiss charges of reckless driving and evading and
eluding based on former jeopardy and violation of Va. Code § 19.2-274.
If you are facing

Holdings:
The Virginia
Court made the following holding:
- The double jeopardy
clause insures that an accused is not subject for the same offense to be
twice put in jeopardy of life or limb. U.S. Const. amend. V. This
constitutional guarantee is applicable to the States through the due
process clause of U.S. Const. amend. XIV.
- Although the language of
Va. Code § 19.2-294 does not state that it provides a defense of former
jeopardy, it amounts to such a defense in purpose and desired effect. Like
the bar of former jeopardy under U.S. Const. amend. V, § 19.2-294 prevents
the Commonwealth from subjecting an accused to the hazards of vexatious,
multiple prosecutions.

Anderson v. Commonwealth
Facts:
Defendant sought
review of a judgment of the Circuit Court of Virginia Beach (Virginia), which
convicted him in a bench trial of reckless driving after having been
adjudicated an habitual offender in violation of Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-357.
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:
- The distinction between
negligent driving and reckless driving is the critical element in
determining punishment under Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-357. In defining the
conduct that gives rise to felony punishment under 46.2-357(B)(2), the
legislature uses the phrase, driving that endangers the life, limb, or
property of another, language virtually identical to that found in the
statute defining reckless driving. Drunk driving does not per se deserve
felony treatment under § 46.2-357. While evidence of intoxication is a
factor that might bear upon proof of dangerous or reckless driving in a given
case, it does not, of itself, prove reckless driving. The essence of the
offense of reckless driving lies not in the act of operating a vehicle,
but in the manner and circumstances of its operation.

Holmes v.
Commonwealth
Facts:
Defendant was
speeding in Virginia Beach, and he did not pull over when he was pursued by a
police officer. Defendant was in an accident, and the officer asked him what
caused it. Defendant admitted that he was speeding. Defendant was convicted of
eluding the police. On appeal, defendant claimed that his statement was in
violation of his Miranda rights and the trial court erred in overruling his
motion to suppress. The court affirmed the conviction and held that defendant
was not in custody at the time that he made his statement. The officer detained
defendant as a necessary protective measure. Defendant was questioned as the
driver of a vehicle involved in a traffic accident, not as a criminal suspect.
Defendant was barred from arguing that the trial court erred in failing to
instruct the jury on reckless or improper driving because he did not ask for
the instruction.

The Virginia
Court made the following holding:
- An accused is not
entitled to an instruction on an offense which is not a lesser included
offense of the one with which he or she is charged. While improper driving
may be a lesser included offense of reckless driving, Va. Code Ann. §
46.2-869, it is not a lesser included offense of eluding a police officer.
