		<description><![CDATA[Defendant’s prior conviction under a Maryland statute for assault with intent to maim qualifies as a predicate violent offense under Va. Code § 18.2-308.2, and the Court of Appeals affirms defendant’s conviction of possession of a firearm after being convicted of a violent felony.

Code § 65.2-101: the record supports that at most two employees were required considering the established performance of the work of the business.

		<description><![CDATA[Defendant cannot set aside his bench trial convictions for bigamy and perjury by asserting a new theory of inadmissibility for another state’s marriage record, the Court of Appeals says:  defendant did not raise his argument under Va. Code § 8.01-390(A) in the trial court precluding its consideration on appeal. Defendant married first wife in 2001 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Defendant cannot withdraw her guilty plea based on misunderstanding the three strikes rule, the Court of Appeals says; defendant’s arrest warrant expressly charged a felony offense and defendant admitted stealing the items, and no manifest injustice appears as required for post-sentence plea withdrawal under Va. Code § 19.2-296. Defendant has two convictions for petit larceny.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Court of Appeals affirms defendant’s conviction for assault and battery of a law enforcement officer; the dashcam video and testimony about defendant’s manner of driving during a 13-mile chase proved the intent required for assault and battery under Va. Code § 18.2-57(C). At 9:00 a.m. one Sunday morning in September, a Department of Game [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A majority of the Court of Appeals reverses and remands defendant’s jury trial convictions for taking indecent liberties with a child, aggravated sexual battery and animate object penetration; the commonwealth’s failure to disclose before trial a recording of victim’s interview violates constitutional due process requirements of Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963), when defendant’s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Court of Appeals reverses defendant’s conviction for carrying a concealed weapon and dismissed the charge; the evidence was insufficient to find defendant hid the gun “about the person” when he hid it under a rain catch and walked away, similar to Pruitt v. Commonwealth, 274 Va. 382 (2007). At 6:30 p.m. one April evening, [...]]]></description>
