Holdings:
The
Virginia Court made the following holding:
- Whether or not an
affirmative defense has been established is usually a question for the
trier-of-fact. The trier of fact determines the weight of evidence in
support of a claim of an affirmative defense. Furthermore, on appeal,
findings of fact made by the trial judge are presumed to be correct and
are given the same effect as a jury verdict, settling all conflicts in the
evidence in favor of the prevailing party. The trial court's findings of
fact are given deference, unless the findings are plainly wrong or without
evidence to support them.
- Whether an alternative
hypothesis of innocence is reasonable is a question of fact and,
therefore, is binding on appeal unless plainly wrong. Where the
fact-finder has rejected the hypothesis of innocence, a trial court's
judgment must be affirmed unless it is plainly wrong or without evidence
to support it.
