HCI
HCI-endorsed Virginia
Legislator's Daughter
Convicted of Armed Robbery
She used her parents' car to
commit the crimes, too.

KeepAndBearArms.com -- The Associated Press reports
on March 22, 2001 the "daughter of a leading Northern Virginia state
legislator pleaded guilty in federal court to armed robbery."
"Ashley E. Devolites, 20, admitted in
court documents that she and two men from New York state robbed a string of
gas stations last summer, using a 1990 Honda registered to her parents."
"Devolites' mother, Jeannemarie, is a
Republican whip in the House of Delegates and has represented part of Fairfax
County since 1998."
Ashley is staring down the barrel of a 27-year
prison sentence. The string of robberies lasted for five weeks and
"stretched from New York to Virginia."
"Republican"
Delegate Jeannemarie Devolites was
endorsed by Handgun Control, Inc., now known as the Brady
Campaign to Prohibit Self Defense. HCI's endorsement of Devolites was
reported in both the Washington Post and in the October 12, 1999 edition of
Virginia's Richmond Times-Dispatch
(Page B1). They endorsed the Republican Delegate in her re-election bid -- over
her Democrat challenger, George Lovelace.
According to court documents, Ashley Devolites
was the trio's lookout and was also responsible for "selecting targets in
Virginia." A thinking person must wonder if the criteria she used in
determining which places to criminally assault with guns included whether or not
the gas station attendants might be armed.
Maybe you should ask Delegate Devolites
yourself. She had no comment for reporters, but maybe she'll tell you:
