Holdings:
The Virginia
Court made the following holding:
- When considering the
sufficiency of the evidence on appeal, a reviewing court does not ask
itself whether it believes that the evidence at the trial established
guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Viewing the evidence in the light most
favorable to the Commonwealth, as the appellate court must when it was the
prevailing party in the trial court, it must instead ask whether any
rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the
crime beyond a reasonable doubt. This familiar standard gives full play to
the responsibility of the trier of fact fairly to resolve conflicts in the
testimony, to weigh the evidence, and to draw reasonable inferences from
basic facts to ultimate facts.
- The court of appeals
will not consider an argument on appeal which was not presented to the
trial court. The purpose of the Va. Sup. Ct. R. 5A:18 is to ensure that
the trial court and opposing party are given the opportunity to
intelligently address, examine, and resolve issues in the trial court,
thus avoiding unnecessary appeals. The court of appeals will not consider,
sua sponte, an ends-of-justice argument under Rule 5A:18.
