Norman v. Commonwealth
Facts:

Defendant was convicted by the Circuit Court of Fairfax (Virginia) of capital murder, abduction with intent to defile, rape, grand larceny, use of a firearm in the commission of a murder, and use of a firearm in the commission of abduction. A divided panel of the court reversed all of defendant's convictions. The Commonwealth petitioned the full court for rehearing en banc.

Holdings:

The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • There are two things that count in favor of a court's understanding of forfeiture when the evidence shows domestic abuse. The first is the substantial indication that the Sixth Amendment is meant to require some degree of intent to thwart the judicial process before thinking it reasonable to hold the confrontation right forfeited; otherwise the right would in practical terms boil down to a measure of reliable hearsay. The second is the absence from the early material of any reason to doubt that the element of intention would normally be satisfied by the intent inferred on the part of the domestic abuser in the classic abusive relationship, which is meant to isolate the victim from outside help, including the aid of law enforcement and the judicial process. If the evidence for admissibility shows a continuing relationship of this sort, it would make no sense to suggest that the oppressing defendant miraculously abandoned the dynamics of abuse the instant before he killed his victim, say in a fit of anger. Acts of domestic violence often are intended to dissuade a victim from resorting to outside help, and include conduct designed to prevent testimony to police officers or cooperation in criminal prosecutions.
