EXCLUSION OF PRETRIAL APPEAL PERIOD FROM TIME WITHIN WHICH ACCUSED MUST BE
TRIED; RECONSIDERATION OF ISSUES AFTER CONVICTION (§ 19.2-409)

This section applies only to pretrial appeals. The provisions of § 19.2-243
shall not apply to the period of time commencing when the Commonwealth&#8217;s
notice of pretrial appeal is filed pursuant to this chapter and ending 60 days
after the Court of Appeals or Supreme Court issues its mandate disposing of the
pretrial appeal. Such finality of the Court of Appeals&#8217; decision shall not
preclude a defendant, if he is convicted, from requesting the Court of Appeals
or Supreme Court on direct appeal to reconsider an issue which was the subject
of the pretrial appeal.
