Cindy Kieffer Stone v. Commonwealth of Virginia - Arson Conviction Affirmed

The Virginia Court of Appeals affirmed a trial court judgment convicting Cindy Kieffer Stone of arson of an occupied dwelling in violation of Code § 18.2-77. The court rejected Stone's challenge to the denial of her motion to suppress statements made to police after she requested counsel, finding any error harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. The court also upheld the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the conviction.
