Clarke v. Commonwealth

Court of Appeals of Virginia

1Opinion of the Court

ANNUNZIATA, Judge.

The appellant, Jamar Duane Clarke, contends: 1) the trial court erred in denying his motions to suppress evidence concerning three distinct incidents; and 2) the trial court erred in finding the evidence sufficient to convict Clarke of the charged offenses arising from the March 12, 1998 and April 30, 1998 incidents. We find that the trial court correctly denied Clarke’s motions to suppress, and we find the evidence sufficient to support his convictions. Accordingly, we affirm the decision of the trial court.
