City of Jefferson v. McCarty

How courts have described this case

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

• concluding that threat made three years before charged event was sufficiently proximate for threat to be relevant
• holding risk of prejudice resulting from admission of evidence “minimized” by remaining evidence
• finding that the weight of a prior bad act that occurred more than three years prior to the charged conduct may have been reduced “to some degree” but “its force had certainly not diminished entirely”
• finding a sufficient temporal connection between a prior bad act that occurred three and a half years prior to the charged conduct
• “Remoteness is one element to be considered in balancing probative value against the prejudicial effect of proffered evidence.”
• threat made in 1980 before the charged event in 1984 was not too remote to be admissible
