Supreme Court of Virginia October 12, 1970, Record 7270 (Poole v. Commonwealth)

Gordon, J.,

delivered the opinion of the court.

The question before us is whether Wayne Edward Poole’s conviction of robbery should be reversed because of a volunteered instruction given by the trial judge to the jury.

Poole and one Michael Allen Kirkpatrick were arrested and charged with a robbery of a motel in Harrisonburg on May 20, 1968. See p. 269,
