Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia
my friend and I were having a discussion about some one who is in jail for doing harm to some one.At the time of arrest until now authorities have no physical evidence and no eye witness of the alleged assault that left the victim hospitalized but there was a heated altercation between the two a couple days before over a woman and money.District attorney is trying to say that our friend will be tried off of motive alone.Can they charge him off of motive alone?

"They" can charge him, i.e., the defendant, with whatever admissible evidence they have that they reasonably believe is sufficient to convict him beyond reasonable doubt.
