noting that, in Denny, we “suggested trial courts not only instruct the jury in accordance with [IPI Criminal No. 3.14] at the close of the case, but also at the time the evidence is first presented to the jury” (emphasis added)
evidence was unduly cumulative where the State put on 12 witnesses, 6 of whom testified about other-crimes evidence
evidence was unduly cumulative where the State put on 12 witnesses, 6 of whom testi- fied about other-crimes evidence
