Green v. Commonwealth

Present: All the Justices FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF BRUNSWICK COUNTY James A. Luke, Judge I. Kevin Green appeals his capital murder conviction and sentence of death. The dispositive question in this appeal is whether the circuit court abused its discretion in refusing to remove two members from the venire. Because we conclude that the circuit court abused its discretion, and that such abuse constitutes manifest error, we will reverse the judgment of the circuit court confirming Green's capital murder conviction, and we will only address certain issues in this appeal.
