52 Va. App. 571

James Lester WALLER v. COMMONWEALTH of Virginia.

Court of Appeals of Virginia, Salem.

September 2, 2008.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Glenn L. Berger (Berger & Thornhill, on brief), Altavista, for appellant.

Donald E. Jeffrey, III, Assistant Attorney General (Robert F. McDonnell, Attorney General, on brief), for appellee.

Present: KELSEY, HALEY and PETTY, JJ.


KELSEY, Judge.

The trial court convicted James Lester Waller for possessing a firearm after having been convicted of a violent felony. See Code § 18.2-308.2(A). On appeal, Waller claims the trial court erred (i) in not acquitting him based upon his necessity defense, and (ii) in admitting prior conviction orders and finding them sufficient to establish Waller's status as a violent felon. Persuaded by neither assertion, we affirm.
