Description
Clarence Brooks appeals from a conviction for cocaine distribution under Code 18.2-248. He asserts that the trial court erred (1) in admitting into evidence a videotape that was unduly prejudicial; (2) in admitting a written transcript of the dialogue from that videotape, that had been prepared by the Fredericksburg Police Department, which was also unduly prejudicial; (3) in admitting the videotape without the establishment of an adequate chain of custody; (4) in denying his motion for a mistrial based on the improper admission of evidence of other criminal acts; and (5) in denying his motion to set aside the verdict. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
