How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that “the reference to Code § 19.2-295.1, as set forth in § 19.2-295.3, is not intended to limit victim impact testimony but merely identifies the sentencing phase of the trial as the appropriate forum for victim impact testimony”
• rejecting the argument that under Code § 19.2-295.1, victim impact testimony presented pursuant to Code § 19.2-295.3 must be limited to rebuttal, reasoning such “result would nullify Code §§ 19.2-11.01(A)(4)(c), 19.2-264.4, and 19.2-295.3”
