Kibert v. Commonwealth
Supreme Court of Virginia

1Opinion of the CourtCarrico, J.
This appeal presents the question whether Virginia law requires the introduction of evidence to sustain a conviction based upon a plea of guilty in a criminal case.
The question arises against the background of a series of attempts by Lloyd Paskel Kibert to overturn his two convictions of murder of the first degree, upon which concurrent life sentences were imposed. The convictions were based upon pleas of guilty entered by Kibert on June 4, 1959, to two statutory short form indictments for murder. The voluntariness of Kibert’s pleas long since has been resolved adversely to his claims.
