39 Va. App. 21

Vahid MOHAJER v. COMMONWEALTH of Virginia.

Court of Appeals of Virginia, Alexandria.

September 17, 2002.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Michael C. Sprano, Assistant Public Defender (Office of the Public Defender, on brief), for appellant.

Margaret W. Reed, Assistant Attorney General (Randolph A. Beales, Acting Attorney General; Mark W. Hicks, Assistant Attorney General, on brief), for appellee.

Present: FITZPATRICK, C.J., and ANNUNZIATA and HUMPHREYS, JJ.


ANNUNZIATA, Judge.

Vahid Mohajer appeals his convictions by a jury of forcible sodomy and animate object penetration. Mohajer contends the trial court erred (1) in allowing the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner ("SANE") to state an expert opinion regarding the cause of Ward's injuries, and (2) in finding the evidence sufficient to support the convictions. For the reasons that follow, we affirm Mohajer's convictions.
