How courts have described this case

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

  • “[T]he prior acts were similar to the charged crimes, as both sets of acts involved threats and violence against a romantic partner … apparently motivated by jealousy and anger.”
  • other-acts evidence relevant to show intent where defendant “claimed the shooting was accidental”
  • evidence of defendant’s prior threats and violence against a romantic partner were properly admitted where defendant “claimed the shooting was an accident, and there was no direct evidence, aside from [his] own account, of how the shooting transpired”
  • where defendant entered a plea of not guilty, claimed the shooting was accidental, and did not take “affirmative steps ... to remove intent as an issue,” he made intent a material and “particularly salient” issue, and the State could prove it with qualifying Rule 404(b) evidence
