How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that the defendant's prior commission of assault on another person had \extremely low\ probative value at his trial for murder and related offenses because he admitted the intent to injure by asserting self-defense
• discussing that, in light of defendant’s self-defense claim, the probative value of certain other- acts evidence “was extremely low at best” and had “nothing to do 148 with his reason for shooting the victim” (citation and punctuation omitted)
• reversing defendant’s conviction after concluding trial court erred in admitting other acts evidence because, “in light 11 of Brown’s self-defense claim, the probative value of the other acts evidence was extremely low at best”
• “When the fact for which the evidence is offered is undisputed or not reasonably susceptible of dispute, the less the probative value of the evidence.”
• error to admit other acts evidence where none of the purposes for which it was admitted was an issue in the case
