Title A name given to the resource Rockingham County SNP Records: Court Proceedings Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Rockingham County Circuit Courthouse Description An account of the resource The first series of the SNP Records collection consists of 4,756 documents related to The State Commission on Conservation and Development of the State of Virginia v. Cassandra Lawson Atkins and others, and Fifty-Two Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty-One (52,561) Acres of Land, more or less in Rockingham County, Virginia, court case initiated by the state of Virginia in order to acquire 52,561 acres of privately held land located within the northern Blue Ridge Mountains.  The Virginia government in collaboration with the federal government, used condemnation, a process that involves the seizure of an individual's private property for public use, without the owner’s consent, but with payment of compensation, and more formally known as “eminent domain,” to create the Shenandoah National Park. The documents within the collection almost entirely refer to land located within Rockingham County, but other counties within the park’s scope followed a similar process to acquire the land. The documents are broken up into three categories: Deed Books, Miscellaneous Documents, and Condemnation Cases. This collection contains the Condemnation Cases. For more information on the Rockingham County Shenandoah National Park collection, visit the "<a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids">Finding Aids</a>" tab in the menu above. In the 1970s and 1980s many of the individuals displaced by the park creation were interviewed in hopes of preserving their stories.

Title A name given to the resource Madison County SNP Records: Court Proceedings Description An account of the resource The first series in the Madison County SNP Records collection consists of 363 files related to the court proceedings from The State Commission on Conservation and Development of the State of Virginia v. D.F. Anderson and Others, and Fifty-Five Thousand Acres of Land, More or Less, in Madison County, Virginia. This was a court case initiated by the state of Virginia in order to acquire privately held land located within the boundary of Madison County in the northern Blue Ridge Mountains. Within the boundaries of eight counties, the state of Virginia, in collaboration with the Federal government, used eminent domain condemnation, a process that involves the seizure of an individual's private property for public use, without the owner’s consent, but with payment of compensation to create the Shenandoah National Park. The documents in this collection are the legal proceedings for each individual tract of land that made up the one court case. In most cases, the individual case files consist of property surveys, assessments for the value of the land and improvements, and claims by the owner of the property.

No conviction, or ver itt, of guilty of murder could properly be found or sustained unless the evidence established to the mina of the jury, beyond all reasonable doubt, that the killing was done both voluntarily and of malice aforethoueht; 2- It is expressly provided by the statute law of Virginia tha.t" Murder by poison, lying in wait, imprisonment, starving, or by any willful, deliberate, and premeditated killing, or int e commission of, or attempt to commit arson, rape, robbery, or burglary, is murder of the first degree. All other murc..er is murder of the second degree." The burct.en of :proof of malice in order to raise the offense to murder is on the Commonwealth. When the fact of killing is proved by satisfactory evidence and there are no circumstances uisclosed tending to show justification or excuse there is nothin 0 to rebut the natural presumption of rnalice, and the burden of rebuttal of such presumption of malice would be cast on the accused. But proof of a voluntary killing,when there is excuse or justification avparent on the proof offered in support of the prosecution, or arising out of the circumstances atten ing the homicide,would leave the accused entitled to the benefit of the presumption of law that he acted without malice, and would cause the burQen of proof to rest on the Com.monwealth to establish to the min of the jury beyond all reasonable doubt, that the accused willfully and maliciously did the shooting which caused the death. // �I J �fa INSTRUCT IO The court instr • cts the jury: fir.es an tre ts · s ....!;::!=:::iic;'"" he voll no li e iens , or ~ orethou,~ht. or ver ict, of guilty of mur e~ coul roperly ust ined unleso thu evi ence cstablishe to t1 c o he jury, eyon 11 reasona le u u t, thct the killing one both voluntarily n of m lice aforethou ht; - Tht~ th c4" of a person, tary killing ~o conviction, be foun or minu s by the ~tute 1 of Vir. prisom.e.t, cit, t· rvin~, r n reme ita ed killin-, or in tt e co ission of, or ttem Jt to c 01 it rson, r pe. r ob ry, or ur""l' ry, is ur the first All other muru.er i mur er of the seco d e ee. 1 Th· bur en of >roof of m lice n or er t raise th se m r Jr is on th Co • n1ealt. the t of killin~ is vrove bys tisfactory evi· ence n L r .. r no circl ce... i ...lo tenain__; to sho 1 justific ...tion or excu ...e there i nothin..:, to rel:>1t tl e nn.tural pre t ,,tion of · · ce, and th· rcte of rebutt l of such presumption of m lice o l · e cast on the But proof of volunt, ..r kil in· 1hen is · a tion par n t on the proo offere in suppo to c +ion, or ~risin ut of the circums rnces attcndin..r the hom i , would le ve t entitle to he benefit of the !!_resumption of l·w thcA.t dt1ou m lice, n -vo,41 c.-u e the burL1.cn of proof to r vt on the Commonwe.. l th to estn )lish to tl e min<1. of the jury beyond 1 re# s n· l uot • th t the r..ccu e · ~illfully an 11alic iousl id re shootin 0 iih'ch cal sed the eath. • It i ia xpre sly provi y poison, lyin~ in 'llful, deliberate, Washburn's Manual of Criminal Law, p. 74, 79.
