Holdings:
The Virginia
Court made the following holding:
- Where an accused might
have been charged, not only with robbery, larceny and simple assault, but
also with assault with intent to maim, etc., all growing out of the same
transaction and occurring at the same time; and that if so charged with
each of these crimes, or with any of them, and either acquitted or
convicted, any further prosecution based upon the same occurrence would be
barred, because the accused could not "be put twice in jeopardy for
the same offense."
