Supreme Court of Virginia.

March 6, 1972.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John W. Carter, Danville (Carter & Wilson, Danville, on brief), for plaintiff in error.

A. R. Woodroof, Asst. Atty. Gen. (Andrew P. Miller, Atty. Gen., on brief), for defendant in error.

Before SNEAD, C. J., and GORDON, HARRISON, COCHRAN and HARMAN, JJ.

GORDON, Justice.

Leon Alfred Law asks us to reverse his conviction of driving while intoxicated because he was denied the right to consult with his counsel before refusing to take a blood test. He relies on the right to assistance of counsel in criminal proceedings guaranteed by the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Federal Constitution and by Article I, § 8, of the State Constitution.
