Jefferson v. Commonwealth

WILLIS, Judge.

On appeal from his convictions in a jury trial of two counts of second-degree murder,, in violation of Code § 18.2-32, and two counts of use of a firearm, in violation of Code § 18.2-53.1, Cory Alver Jefferson contends (1) that the trial court denied his statutory right to a speedy trial, (2) that the trial court erred in admitting prejudicial evidence that his companion was armed, and (3) that the trial court erred in instructing the jury as to the mandatory sentencing required for violations of Code § 18.2-53.1. Finding no error, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
