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.
- Where there is a
question of law involving statutory interpretation before an appellate
court, the appellate court reviews a trial court's judgment de novo.
