Description
Upon a Rehearing En Banc On August 3, 1993 a panel of this Court reversed the convictions of Demetris Thomas with respect
to alleged crimes against the dwelling and person of Sandra Harris. See Thomas v. Commonwealth, Va.App. , 434 S.E.2d 319
(1993). In an unpublished opinion dated August 3, 1993, the same panel affirmed Thomas's convictions with respect to crimes
against Sherry Dickinson. See Thomas v. Commonwealth, Record No. 0418-91-1. Thomas's petitions for rehearing en banc were
granted, the cases were consolidated, and the issues were heard on February 18, 1994. For the reasons stated in the panel's published opinion, a majority of the Court reverses the judgment of the trial court
with respect to the alleged crimes against the dwelling and person of Sandra Harris because Thomas was improperly impeached
by evidence of still pending prosecutions. See Dowell v. Commonwealth, 12 Va. App. 1145, 1149, 408 S.E.2d 263, 265 (1991),
aff'd en banc, 14 Va. App. 58, 414 S.E.2d 440 (1992). On all remaining issues, a majority of the Court affirms the actions
of the trial court for the reasons stated in the panel's opinions. Accordingly, the stays of this Court's August 3, 1993 mandates
are lifted, and their directives are reinstated.
