- holding that the admission of evidence that the defendant sold drugs on other occasions was harmless when the evidence that he committed the charged crimes was strong

- evidence of 15-year-old bank robbery conviction was harmless because of otherwise overwhelming evidence of guilt
- uncharged sales of prescription pills were relevant where they had same intent as the charged offense of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute
