The court's record, as written
122178 Burkeen v. Commonwealth 10/31/2013 The Court of Appeals did not err in affirming a conviction for malicious wounding, in violation of Code § 18.2-51, where the defendant, in an unprovoked attack, struck the victim with a bare fist only once, resulting in serious and disfiguring injuries. Under the circumstances of this case, there was sufficient evidence of violence and brutality for the circuit court to find that the defendant acted with malice and intended to maim the victim. The judgment is affirmed.
