Bess v. Commonwealth
Defendant sought review of a decision of the Circuit Court of Prince William (Virginia), which convicted her of simple assault and battery in violation of Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-57. On appeal, defendant alleged that the evidence was insufficient.
In determining whether evidence is sufficient to support a conviction, appellate courts view the evidence in the light most favorable to the Commonwealth, granting to it all reasonable inferences fairly deducible therefrom.
Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-57 provides that any person who commits a simple assault or assault and battery shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor. Because § 18.2-57 does not define assault or battery, courts look to the common law definition of the terms.
