Holdings:
The
Virginia Court made the following holding:
- The holdings in Heacock
and Hylton that Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-33 encompasses all felonious acts not
expressly excluded, necessitate the conclusion that the statute includes
felonious driving while intoxicated. Furthermore, driving while
intoxicated or recklessly is a felony considered to be inherently
dangerous. By implication, it presents a substantial risk to life.
Reckless driving is dangerous and demonstrates a reckless disregard for
human life in the context of Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-371.1. The increased
risk of death or serious harm occasioned by the commission of' felony of
driving while intoxicated demonstrates an appellant's lack of concern for
human life and constitutes the justification for imputing malice.
- The required elements of
the felony-murder rule, i.e., time, place, and causal connection, are
stated in the conjunctive. Therefore, all three elements must be
established for the felony-murder statute to apply.
