2013 SESSION
13104264DBe it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That the Code of Virginia is amended by adding a section numbered 8.01-680.1 as follows:
§ 8.01-680.1. Erroneously admitted evidence; appeal.
When a challenge to a judgment rests on a claim that the evidence was insufficient because the trial court improperly admitted evidence, the reviewing court shall consider all evidence admitted at trial to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to sustain the judgment. If the reviewing court determines that evidence was erroneously admitted and that such error was not harmless, the case shall be remanded for a new trial if the prosecution is so advised.
