Supreme Court of Virginia September 11, 1981, Record No. 801800 (Brown v. Commonwealth)

STEPHENSON, J.,

delivered the opinion of the Court.

Tried by a jury, John Marshall Brown was convicted of grand larceny of an automobile and sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. We consider in this appeal whether the trial court erred in admitting evidence of Brown’s prior arrest and conviction for automobile larceny.
