P. v. Knott CA2/3
Defendant Andrea Knott appeals from a probation order entered after she was convicted of one count of welfare fraud and two counts of perjury. She contends that there is insufficient evidence to support one of her perjury convictions because her false statement was not material; that both perjury convictions should be reversed because the court failed to instruct the jury that evidence of a statement’s falsity must be corroborated; that the court improperly excluded defense evidence that would have impeached the prosecution’s main witness; that the court erroneously imposed various court fees as probation conditions; and that the court improperly ordered concurrent probationary terms for two of the three counts. We conclude there is insufficient evidence to support count 6 and the court’s instructional error was prejudicial as to count 5.
