Creeper v. Commonwealth
Facts:
Defendant appealed his bench
trial conviction by the Circuit Court of Virginia Beach (Virginia) for a second
offense of driving while intoxicated within five years, in violation of Va.
Code § 18.2-266. Defendant contended that his prior DUI conviction and the
results of the Breathalyzer test should not have been admitted into evidence
and that he should have been permitted to cross-examine the arresting officer
on his subjective intent.

Holdings:
The
Virginia Court made the following holding:
- Va. Code § 18.2-270
establishes the penalties for violations of Code § 18.2-266 and provides
for the enhanced punishment of second-time DUI offenders. The Supreme
Court of the United States reaffirms the use of prior convictions for
sentencing enhancement purposes, holding as follows: An uncounseled
conviction which is valid may be relied upon to enhance the sentence for a
subsequent offense, even though that sentence entails imprisonment.
Enhancement statutes, whether in the nature of criminal history provisions
such as those contained in the Sentencing Guidelines, or recidivist statutes,
which are common place in state criminal laws, do not change the penalty
imposed for the earlier conviction.
