Lester v. Commonwealth

Court of Appeals of Virginia

1Opinion of the Court

BUMGARDNER, Judge.

Paul Bryan Lester was convicted of burglary and grand larceny. Lester contends that the trial court erred (1) in denying his motion to suppress, (2) in finding the evidence of value sufficient to prove grand larceny, and (3) in finding the evidence sufficient to prove he committed burglary. We hold that the trial court did not err as to the first two issues and that the defendant is barred from raising the third issue. Accordingly, we affirm the convictions.
