Granted Appeal Summary

Case

RAEQUAN EVANS S/K/A RAEQUAN D. EVANS v. COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA
(Record Number 190846)

From

The Court of Appeals of Virginia.

Counsel

J. Barry McCracken (OFFICE OF THE PUBLIC DEFENDER) for appellant.
Kristin S. Fellers (OFFICE OF THE COMMONWEALTH\\u2019S ATTORNEY) for appellee.

Assignment of Error

The Court of Appeals erred in affirming the trial court\\u2019s denial of the Defendant\\u2019s motion to
dismiss because the prosecution of the Defendant for the possession of the firearm constituted a
successive prosecution of the Defendant for the same act as that which was the subject of an
earlier trial and conviction in the Norfolk General District Court for misdemeanor possession of
a concealed weapon, such successive prosecution being barred by the provisions of Virginia
Code \\xa7 19.2-294.
