Mary Ann. v. Commonwealth

Facts:

The appellate court held that the trial court erred in not granting defendant's motion to dismiss the indictment charging him with felony DUI. Va. Code Ann. § 19.2-294.1 required the dismissal of the felony DUI indictment because defendant had been previously convicted of reckless driving in the general district court arising out of the same acts or act that were the basis of the felony indictment for DUI.

The Virginia Court made the following holding:

Under the plain and unambiguous terms of Va. Code Ann. § 19.2-294.1, one may not be "charged" and "convicted" of both driving under the influence (DUI) and reckless driving. A conviction of either DUI or reckless driving, whether in simultaneous or successive prosecutions, requires dismissal of the other charge if the other charge arose from the same act or acts.
