McClung v. Commonwealth green
va · 1975
1 sentence

1999In proffering instructions 18A and 18B, appellant's counsel made the following argument: [T]he cases that I am submitting are Manley v. Commonwealth, 222 Va. 642 , a 1981 case, - 3 - and McClung v. Commonwealth, 215 Va. 654 , a 1975 case; and the reason I would ask for an accessory after the fact instruction for Mr. Fennell's case is I think there's sufficient evidence to support that instruction.

1999In proffering instructions 18A and 18B, appellant's counsel made the following argument: [T]he cases that I am submitting are Manley v. Commonwealth, 222 Va. 642 , a 1981 case, - 3 - and McClung v. Commonwealth, 215 Va. 654 , a 1975 case; and the reason I would ask for an accessory after the fact instruction for Mr. Fennell's case is I think there's sufficient evidence to support that instruction.

1999Here, appellant proffered an accessory-after-the-fact instruction and stated he thought the trial court should give the instruction because "there's sufficient evidence to support that instruction." Appellant went further by citing Manley v. Commonwealth, 222 Va. 642 , 283 S.E.2d 207 (1981), in which the trial court gave an accessory-after-the-fact instruction even though the defendant had been indicted for robbery as a principal.
