Holdings:
The
Virginia Court made the following holding:
- It is elementary that
the burden is on the Commonwealth of Virginia to prove every essential
element of an offense beyond a reasonable doubt. The evidence must exclude
every reasonable hypothesis of innocence and be consistent only with the guilt
of an accused. The fact finder, however, is entitled to draw inferences
from proved facts, so long as the inferences are reasonable and justified.
When facts are equally susceptible to more than one interpretation, one of
which is consistent with the innocence of the accused, the trier of fact
cannot arbitrarily adopt an inculpatory interpretation. However, the
Commonwealth need only exclude reasonable hypotheses of innocence that
flow from the evidence, not those that spring from the imagination of the
defendant. The statement that circumstantial evidence must exclude every
reasonable theory of innocence is simply another way of stating that the
Commonwealth has the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
- Voluntary intoxication
is generally not an excuse for any crime. The only exception to this
general rule is in cases involving deliberate and premeditated murder. A
voluntarily intoxicated individual may not be aware of what is happening
but would nevertheless be responsible for his conduct while in such a
state.
