Description:
Cody Wyche Brewer, by counsel, filed a petition on April 19, 2023, seeking a writ of actual innocence based on nonbiological evidence, pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 19.3 of Title 19.2 of the Code of Virginia. By final order entered on October 1, 2018, the Circuit Court of the City of Colonial Heights convicted Brewer of identity theft with the intent to defraud, computer fraud, and grand larceny.[1] The circuit court sentenced Brewer to 35 years of incarceration, with 34 years and 11 months suspended.
Brewer contends that he is innocent of the offenses for which he was convicted. In support of his claim, Brewer presents an April 12, 2022 letter and a July 26, 2022 affidavit from his grandmother, Margaret Irby Peade, in which she states that she made false allegations against Brewer and that he actually had her permission to use her bank accounts. Brewer asserts that the proffered materials establish his innocence. The Commonwealth, represented by the Office of the Attorney General, filed a response to the petition, and it moved this Court to dismiss the petition. Brewer's counsel then filed a reply to the Commonwealth's response and its motion to dismiss.
