When citing cases, it's important to know which ones matter, and which ones don't.

You cited two cases from West's Southwestern Reporter, 3d series.

Mr. Martin, the subject of this thread, was convicted of crimes against the laws of Virginia.

Virginia appellate cases are printed in West's SouthEASTERN Reporter (currently in the 2nd series).

Thus, even assuming for the sake of argument that your citations are accurate, they are from some other state and thus not binding precedent on any court in Virginia.
