Victoria Price Brown (appellant) appeals from a judgment of the Circuit Court of Washington County (trial court) that approved a jury verdict convicting her for obstructing justice by resisting arrest in violation of Code  18.2-460.
Appellant further argued that, in Virginia, "a person has the absolute right to resist an illegal arrest by whatever force is necessary and reasonable under the circumstances." The Commonwealth contends that, notwithstanding the officers' arrest of the wrong person, because the arrest was made in good faith, appellant had no right to resist.
It has long been held in Virginia that where an officer attempts an unlawful arrest, the officer is an aggressor which gives the arrestee the right to use self-defense to resist so long as the force used is reasonable.

The Court of Appeals of Virginia, finding that the trial court erred in refusing to give the defendant's requested jury instruction on self-defense, reversed the convictions and remanded the case for a new trial.
Although the defendant had suffered considerable physical abuse at the hands of her husband before fatally shooting him, we find no evidence of an overt act indicative of the deceased's imminent intention to kill or seriously harm his wife at the time of the shooting, such as to make a self-defense instruction appropriate.
The facts in this case as recited by the majority fully support the majority's conclusion that Victoria Shelton Sands "reasonably believed that she was in danger of serious bodily harm or death" as a result of "the atrocities inflicted upon her" by her husband on the day Sands shot and killed her husband.
