Description

Although the Commonwealth prevailed at trial, the appropriate standard of review requires that we view the evidence pertinent to Martin's refused instruction in the light most favorable to Martin. Blondel v. Hays, 241 Va. 467, 469, 403 S.E.2d 340, 341 (1991). When the evidence is so viewed, it established that several police officers responded at midnight to an alert of a possible burglary in a residential neighborhood in the City of Richmond. When a homeowner spied a man in his yard and shouted, the officers saw a man wearing blue jeans, a t-shirt, and a baseball cap fleeing through backyards.
