Robert v.
Commonwealth
Facts:
In a domestic
violence case, the Defendant appealed a judgment by the Circuit Court of Fairfax

violation of Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-57.2; defendant claimed that the evidence was
insufficient to support his conviction.

Holdings:
The Virginia
Court made the following holding:
- In
reviewing the sufficiency of the evidence on appeal, courts examine the
record in a light most favorable to the Commonwealth, granting to it all
reasonable inferences fairly deducible therefrom.
- Circumstantial evidence
may establish the elements of a crime, provided it excludes every
reasonable hypothesis of innocence. However, the Commonwealth need only
exclude reasonable hypotheses of innocence that flow from the evidence,
not those that spring from the imagination of a defendant.
- Whether a hypothesis of
innocence is reasonable is a question of fact, and a finding by the trial
court is binding on appeal unless plainly wrong.
