MERRY CHRISTINE PEASE
PER CURIAM
v. Record No. 030081
October 31, 2003
COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA
FROM THE COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA
We granted the petition for appeal in this case to consider
whether the Court of Appeals erred in ruling that the trial
court did not err in (1) failing to dismiss the indictment on
double jeopardy grounds, (2) failing to disqualify the special
prosecutor and to dismiss and quash the indictment, and (3)
failing to set aside the jury verdict because the evidence was
insufficient as a matter of law.
We have considered the questions, and, for the reasons
stated in the opinion of the Court of Appeals reported in 39 Va.
App. 342, 573 S.E.2d 272 (2002), we will affirm its judgment.
Affirmed.
