Charlie v. Commonwealth
Facts:
The Circuit Court of Virginia
Beach, convicted defendant of driving while having the status of an habitual
offender. Defendant appealed. Defendant contended the trial judge rendered
impermissible, inconsistent verdicts by convicting him of a felony after
acquitting him of violating Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-266, which was an element of
the felony offense. The State responded that the record established the judge
did not reject the evidence of driving under the influence (DUI) and that he
gave an explanation, which established that the verdicts were not truly
inconsistent. The court of appeals agreed with the State. Acknowledging he
could not convict defendant of both reckless driving and driving under the influence
of alcohol (DUI) arising from the same act, the trial judge said he chose to
give defendant a break, even though the evidence proved he was under the
influence. This statement indicated the judge considered his ruling to be an
act of lenity, and the ruling was not a product of confusion. Thus, there was
no evidence that the verdicts were inconsistent.

the record explains an apparent inconsistency in the verdicts, and where
the explanation shows that the trial court's action was proper and that
there was no unfairness, inconsistent verdicts would be sustained.
