P. v. Williams
At a New Years Eve party, an argument between defendant, 19-year-old Gary Wayne Williams, and the victim led to their pushing one another. According to the victims brother, defendant pushed the victim through a glass window. The victim was seriously injured with numerous cuts. Defendant then punched and wrestled the victim. The victims brother intervened and defendant fled the scene. Another witness claimed the argument began when the victim mocked defendant about the way he was dancing, the two shoved one another, and that the fight was mutual. Defendant called the police and reported that he had been involved in a fight with the victim, which began when the victim teased defendant about his dancing. Defendant claimed the fight was mutual, each pushing and slugging the other. Defendant denied pushing the victim through the window; instead, defendant claimed he stepped aside when the victim charged towards defendant and the victim fell through the window. They continued to fight after the victim fell through the window.
The judgment is affirmed.
