Walker v. Commonwealth

Court of Appeals of Virginia

1Opinion of the Court

KELSEY, Judge.

The trial court found Stephen Craig Walker guilty of abduction and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. The trial court found Walker not guilty of robbery arising out of the same incident. On appeal, Walker claims (a) the evidence was insufficient to prove that he intended to deprive the victim of his personal liberty, and (b) his abduction conviction must be reversed as a matter of law because it was incidental to the robbery of which he was acquitted. Finding the evidence sufficient and Walker’s legal reasoning erroneous, we affirm.
