MERRY CHRISTINE PEASE 
 
 
 
PER CURIAM 
v.  Record No. 030081 
 
 
 
October 31, 2003 
COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA 
 
 
FROM THE COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA 
 
 
We granted the petition for appeal in this case to consider 
whether the Court of Appeals erred in ruling that the trial 
court did not err in (1) failing to dismiss the indictment on 
double jeopardy grounds, (2) failing to disqualify the special 
prosecutor and to dismiss and quash the indictment, and (3) 
failing to set aside the jury verdict because the evidence was 
insufficient as a matter of law. 
 
We have considered the questions, and, for the reasons 
stated in the opinion of the Court of Appeals reported in 39 Va. 
App. 342, 573 S.E.2d 272 (2002), we will affirm its judgment. 
Affirmed.
