Holdings:
The Virginia
Court made the following holding:
- In a criminal case, it
is implicit that, in order to determine whether there has been a fair
trial on the merits and whether substantial justice has been reached, a
reviewing court must decide whether the alleged error substantially
influenced the jury. If it did not, the error is harmless.
- Whether an accused drove
a car while intoxicated may be determined from all of the evidence of his
condition at the time of the alleged offense. In considering the totality
of the circumstances surrounding his condition, the court may be guided by
the statutory definition of intoxication. "Intoxicated" means a
condition in which a person has drunk enough alcoholic beverages to
observably affect his manner, disposition, speech, muscular movement,
general appearance, or behavior. Va. Code Ann. § 4.1-100.
