| 3 | Kerry Lee Winslow v. Commonwealth of Virginia | green | “virginia courts applying the ends-of-justice exception require a defendant to present not only a winning argument on appeal but also one demonstrating that the trial court's error results in a 'grave injustice' or a wholly inexcusable 'denial of essential rights.” | 8 |
