P. v. Punch
Defendant Joseph Charles Punch did not dispute that he struck 19-year-old Megan C. in the forehead with the butt of a pellet gun while on a camping trip with friends, but he maintained he was not guilty of robbery or false imprisonment. Because defendant, the victim, and their three friends were all regular users of methamphetamine, their recollection of the details of the camping trip was inconsistent and the trial became a classic credibility contest. In this context, defendant argues a slew of evidentiary, instructional, and sentencing errors. Court can find no prejudicial error in this record and affirm.
