Title A name given to the resource Rockingham County Criminal Court: Criminal Cases Description An account of the resource This collection encompasses all criminal court cases adjudicated in Rockingham County from 1778 to 1971, spanning nearly two centuries of legal history. The records offer a comprehensive view of the county's criminal justice system, including charges ranging from petty theft and assault to more serious offenses like murder. Each case provides unique insights into the legal proceedings, punishments, and societal norms of the time, reflecting how local attitudes toward crime and justice evolved over the years. Beyond the legal aspects, these records also shed light on the social, cultural, and political environment in Rockingham County, including the impact of historical events such as the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the civil rights movement. Researchers will find cases involving enslaved individuals, early policing practices, and the enforcement of social and moral codes, offering a window into the daily lives and struggles of past residents. The collection serves as a valuable resource for understanding the community's response to crime, the development of legal institutions, and the broader historical context shaping the attitudes of crime in Rockingham County.

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.

Title A name given to the resource Rockingham County Criminal Court: Criminal Cases Description An account of the resource This collection encompasses all criminal court cases adjudicated in Rockingham County from 1778 to 1971, spanning nearly two centuries of legal history. The records offer a comprehensive view of the county's criminal justice system, including charges ranging from petty theft and assault to more serious offenses like murder. Each case provides unique insights into the legal proceedings, punishments, and societal norms of the time, reflecting how local attitudes toward crime and justice evolved over the years. Beyond the legal aspects, these records also shed light on the social, cultural, and political environment in Rockingham County, including the impact of historical events such as the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the civil rights movement. Researchers will find cases involving enslaved individuals, early policing practices, and the enforcement of social and moral codes, offering a window into the daily lives and struggles of past residents. The collection serves as a valuable resource for understanding the community's response to crime, the development of legal institutions, and the broader historical context shaping the attitudes of crime in Rockingham County.
