DANG v. COM.

Record No. 130553.

752 S.E.2d 885 (2014)

Lam DANG v. COMMONWEALTH of Virginia.

Supreme Court of Virginia.

January 10, 2014.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Lauren Whitley , Senior Assistant Public Defender, for appellant.

Donald A. Jeffrey, III , Senior Assistant Attorney General ( Kenneth T. Cuccinelli, II , Attorney General, on brief), for appellee.

PRESENT: All the Justices.

Opinion by Justice ELIZABETH A. McCLANAHAN.

A jury convicted Lam Dang of one count each of murder and violation of a protective order. Relying on Code § 19.2-169.1, Dang argues on appeal that the circuit court erred in failing to order a second competency evaluation after his counsel discovered new information regarding Dang's life history and physical trauma he suffered as a child. We reject Dang's argument and will affirm his convictions.
