Anthony Bernard Juniper v. Commonwealth of Virginia.

Summary

The Court affirmed Juniper’s convictions and four death sentences, rejecting preserved challenges involving prosecutor disqualification, expert assistance, discovery, juror selection, evidentiary rulings, sufficiency of the evidence, and penalty-phase testimony. It also held that several claims were waived, defaulted, or abandoned because Juniper failed to obtain rulings, renew motions, make specific objections, or adequately brief the issues. The Court concluded that the evidence supported the convictions and the armed-burglary instruction and found no abuse of discretion in the trial court’s sentencing and jury-selection rulings.
