1 sentence1989Here, Mr. McCurdy would be claiming "Regardless of whether the County ordinances are valid, the convictions thereunder should not be counted in my habitual offender adjudeation because the ordinances did not substantially conform with the corresponding state DWI Laws," In Shinault v. Commonwealth, 228 Va. 269 (1984), the Court observed that the habitual offender adjudication is a civil proceeding: no comparable presumption of conformity would be justified in a criminal context, such as when the Commonwealth seeks enhanced sentences under Section 18.2-270 for second or subsequent offenses. | 1 | 1989–1989 |
