Mary v. Commonwealth

Facts:

Holdings:

            The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • On appeal, an appellate court reviews the evidence in the light most favorable to the Commonwealth. This principle requires the appellate court to 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 to be drawn therefrom. Its examination of the record is not limited to the evidence mentioned by a party in trial argument or by the trial court in its ruling. In determining whether there is evidence to sustain a conviction, an appellate court must consider all the evidence admitted at trial that is contained in the record.
  • The "substantially similar" standard under Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-270(E) does not require the statutes to be exact replicas of each other. They merely must be similar (not identical) in a substantial (not insubstantial) way. The statutes need not substantially conform in every respect to each other. Thus, a court need not scrutinize the foreign statute for every idiosyncratic, insubstantial difference between it and the Virginia statute. It looks instead to the overall purpose of the two statutes, the framework of their principal provisions, and the elements of their respective offenses.
