Virginia Supreme Court Delivers Mixed Capital Ruling
The Virginia Supreme Court overturned Dung Quang Cheng's capital murder conviction in the killing of McLean restaurant owner Hsiang Liu, ruling insufficient circumstantial evidence to prove he fired the fatal shot. Cheng must be retried on first degree murder in Arlington County Circuit Court, while other charges stand. The court upheld Timothy Wilson Spencer's fourth capital murder conviction for rape slayings in Richmond and Arlington.

Trike-a-thon raises funds for St Jude’s Hospital at Princeton
About 40 preschoolers at Princeton Community Hospital Child Development Center rode around an oval to raise money for St Jude's Crippled Children's Hospital. Center director Willa Whittaker noted last year’s total of 1300 dollars, aiming for 800 this year after a rain postponement. Each rider pledged 25 dollars earns a license and tee shirt. 75 dollars or more adds a duffel bag. The event also teaches safe riding and pedestrian awareness.

Justice McHugh wrote the 1943 law gives circuit courts flexibility to modify sentences for pleas in magistrate court.
