Smith v. Commonwealth

Opinion

KEENAN, J.

Jeffrey T. Smith was convicted in a bench trial of leaving the scene of an accident in violation of Code § 46.1-176. 1 The issues presented in this appeal are: (1) whether the evidence is sufficient as a matter of law to support the conviction; and (2) whether Smith had reasonable notice that the accident made him subject to the requirements of Code § 46.1-176. We find that the evidence was sufficient to convict Smith under the language of the statute and that he had reasonable notice that he was subject to its provisions. Accordingly, we affirm his conviction.
