    The court's record, as written

    021014 Commonwealth v. Leal 01/10/2003 In a prosecution charging the defendant with maiming by mob and causing bodily injury in violation of Code § 18.2-41, the trial court correctly denied an instruction on the lesser crime of assault or battery by mob in violation of Code § 18.2-42. The judgment of the Court of Appeals, which concluded that such an instruction was appropriate, is reversed and final judgment is entered reinstating the circuit court's judgment of conviction.
