Holdings:
The Virginia
Court made the following holding:
- "Bias"
is a term used in the common law of evidence to describe the relationship
between a party and a witness which might lead the witness to slant,
unconsciously or otherwise, his testimony in favor of or against a party.
Evidence relating to a point, such as bias, properly at issue in the case
is relevant and, therefore, admissible if it has any logical tendency,
however slight, to establish a fact at issue in the case.
- Va. Code Ann. §
18.2-57.2 provides that any person who commits an assault and battery
against a family or household member is guilty of a criminal offense as
prescribed therein. It incorporates by reference the definition of
"family or household member" contained in Va. Code Ann. §
16.1-228, which provides that "family or household member" means
(v) any individual who has a child in common with the person, whether or
not the person and that individual have been married or have resided
together at any time; or (vi) any individual who cohabits or who, within
the previous 12 months, cohabited with the person.
