How courts have described this case

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

• holding that admission of uncharged-misconduct evidence was not harmless, where it was “highly inflamma- tory, and, as such, created a risk that the jury would con- vict defendant based on his past acts or his character”
• “‘[T]he required connection can be inferred when,”’ considering “‘the nature of the evidence at issue, evaluated in light of the circumstances of the’” charged conduct, the inference is a logical one. (Quoting Turnidge, 359 Or at 450.)
• “[T]he mere possibility that the same motive that caused an earlier crime or act also caused the charged crime is not enough to make evidence of the prior act relevant. Instead, something in the circumstances of the charged crime must suggest that the identified motive is at work.”
