Docket entry
230945 Commonwealth v. Carolino 12/12/2024 In an appeal from a conviction for the crime of strangulation pursuant to Code § 18.2-51.6, reversed by the Court of Appeals sitting en banc finding error in the admission of collateral propensity evidence for the sole purpose of attacking the defendant's credibility in violation of McGowan v. Commonwealth, 274 Va. 689 (2007), it is concluded that the defendant failed to preserve his argument that the evidence constituted improper impeachment on a collateral matter. For the reasons stated herein, the judgment of the Court of Appeals is reversed and vacated, and final judgment is entered reinstating this defendant's conviction for strangulation.
