SHANKLIN v. COM.

Record No. 810099.

284 S.E.2d 611 (1981)

Charles A. SHANKLIN v. COMMONWEALTH of Virginia.

Supreme Court of Virginia.

December 4, 1981.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John A. Nere, Jr. (Mergenthal and Nere, Fredericksburg, on briefs), for appellant.

Jerry P. Slonaker, Asst. Atty. Gen. (Marshall Coleman, Atty. Gen., on brief), for appellee.

Before CARRICO, C. J., and HARRISON, COCHRAN, POFF, COMPTON, THOMPSON and STEPHENSON, JJ.

STEPHENSON, Justice.

Charles A. Shanklin was convicted by a jury of grand larceny of a motor vehicle and sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. He contends the trial court erred in limiting the cross-examination of Shanklin's brother, William, a prosecution witness. William admitted that he was testifying pursuant to a plea agreement, but the trial court, sua sponte, ruled that he could not be asked what sentence he had received under the bargain.
