A lower court's discretion to interpret its own order is not unlimited, however. It must be exercised reasonably and not arbitrarily or capriciously. Thus, a trial court's interpretation of its own order will be deferred to on appeal absent an abuse of discretion.
  • In examining the record to determine the nature and extent of a trial court's action, an appellate court generally starts with a trial court's orders. A trial court speaks through its orders and those orders are presumed to accurately reflect what transpired.

West v. Commonwealth
Facts:

Defendant appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court of Fairfax (Virginia) convicting him of aggravated sexual battery, through the use of the victim's metal incapacity, in violation of Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-67.3.

Holdings:

The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • In the context of sexual crimes, an act undertaken against a victim's will and without the victim's consent is an act undertaken with force. In the context of a rape prosecution, constructive force exists if the victim could not legally consent to the act. Proof of the absence of legal consent provides all the force which the law demands as an element of the crime. force includes actual and constructive force and constructive force includes engaging in proscribed conduct with a victim who is under the legal age of consent.
  • The use of a common set of facts for proof of differing elements of a crime is not incongruous. The prosecution for aggravated sexual battery requires a showing of sexual abuse under Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-67.10(6)(b), which includes proof of force, and a showing that the victim was under 13 years of age, Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-67.3(A)(1). The common factual element - the age of the victim - serves as proof of both the force requirement and the age requirement. Such a circumstance is neither improper nor incongruous.

The fact that the object is placed on, not in, a woman's sexual organ is insufficient to establish the element of penetration. For the purposes of § 18.2-67.2, penetration need be only slight. Penetration of any portion of the vulva, which encompasses the external parts of the female sex organs considered as a whole and includes, beginning with the outermost parts, the labia majora, labia minora, hymen, vaginal opening, and vagina, is sufficient to establish the element of penetration.
  • Va. Code Ann. § 19.2-294 provides in part that if the same act is a violation of two or more statutes, conviction under one of the statutes or ordinances shall be a bar to a prosecution or proceeding under the other. However, § 19.2-294 is applicable only to multiple or successive prosecutions, and does not apply to a simultaneous prosecution.

Geraldo v. Commonwealth

Facts:

Defendant in Fairfax said the definition of "complaining witness" excluded from its definition attempted aggravated sexual battery, so attempted aggravated sexual battery was not a crime in Virginia. The appellate court held the general assembly passed a law stating the punishment for attempted sexual assault offenses, including attempted aggravated sexual battery. It also passed Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-67, permitting the deposition of a "complaining witness" in cases of sexual assault and attempted sexual assault. If the general assembly intended to exclude attempt crimes from Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-67.3, it would not have passed a law permitting a deposition of a "complaining witness" in attempted aggravated sexual battery and would not have passed a law stating the punishment for attempted aggravated sexual battery. There was no evidence the general assembly intended to abrogate common law attempt when it passed § 18.2-67.3, so the crime of attempted aggravated sexual battery existed in Virginia.

Holdings:

The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-67.5 provides for the punishment of attempted sexual assault and states that an attempt to commit aggravated sexual battery is a felony punishable as a Class 6 felony. Under the common law, it is well settled in Virginia that an attempt is an unfinished crime, and is compounded of two elements, the intent to commit the crime and the doing of some direct act towards its consummation, but falling short of the execution of the ultimate design.
