P. v. Pulskamp CA2/1
This case arose out of an early morning confrontation at a convenience store. A jury convicted defendant John Thomas Pulskamp of the attempted voluntary manslaughter of one of the store’s customers, Raul Rubio (Pen. Code, §§ 192, subd. (a), 664), as a lesser offense of attempted murder and found true the allegation Pulskamp personally used a deadly and dangerous weapon, a truck, in the commission of the crime (id., § 12022, subd. (b)(1)). The jury also convicted him of assault with a deadly weapon on the store clerk (id., § 245, subd. (a)(1)), vandalism of the store causing over $400 in damage (id., § 594, subd. (a)), and misdemeanor evading a peace officer (Veh. Code, § 2800.1, subd. (a)). Pulskamp pleaded no contest to an additional charge of vandalism over $400 based on damage he caused to Rubio’s car.
