Barrett (Clark) v. Com.

Court of Appeals of Virginia

Decided August 26, 2003No. 0581021PublishedCited by 17 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

HUMPHREYS, Judge.

Amy Jean Barrett appeals her conviction, following a jury trial, for two counts of felony child abuse, in violation of Code § 18.2-371.1(A) and 18.2-371.1(B). 1 Barrett contends the trial court erred in refusing to quash the indictment stating the charge under Code § 18.2-371.1(B). Barrett further contends the trial court erred in finding the evidence sufficient, as a matter of law, to support her convictions and that the court failed to properly instruct the jury with regard to the duty of ordinary care. Finding no error, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
