Holdings:

The Virginia Court made the following holding:

In reviewing the sufficiency of evidence on appeal, the appellate court must examine the evidence and all inferences reasonably deducible therefrom in the light most favorable to the Commonwealth, the prevailing party in the trial court. A court may not disturb the trial court's judgment unless it is plainly wrong or without evidence to support it.
When the injury is actually inflicted, a battery has been committed regardless of how small the injury might be. Battery is the actual infliction of corporal hurt on another (e.g., the least touching of another's person), willfully or in anger, whether by the party's own hand, or by some means set in motion by him.
A battery is an unlawful touching of another. It is not necessary that the touching result in injury to the person. Whether a touching is a battery depends on the intent of the actor, not on the force applied. An assault may occur even though the victim is not aware of any acts directed at him, provided the actor intends to touch offensively rather than accidentally or negligently.
