Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the trial court's refusal to give a Virginia Model Jury Instruction on Circumstantial Evidence violated the appellant's Sixth and Fourteenth Amendment rights to a fair jury trial

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. The Trial Court’s error in refusing to give the Virginia Model Jury Instruction on Circumstantial Evidence violated the Appellant’s 6th and 14th Amendment rights to a jury trial by failing to allow the Appellant an opportunity to present a meaningful defense since the jury instruction was a Model Jury Instruction and was directly related to evidence and issues in the case and was a proper statement of the law, and the Virginia Court of Appeals and the Virginia Supreme Court also erred by their holding regarding each point that they cited in support of their decision to affirm the Trial Court’s decision and deny the giving of the instruction. u II.
