Syllabus

Criminal law — Evidence — Other Acts Evidence — Jury Instructions. The trial court did not abuse its discretion admitting other acts evidence because the evidence was used for a legitimate purpose other than to prove appellant's character or propensity to commit crime. The instructions given to the jury about the other acts evidence were not plain error. Finally, the court's admission of photographs and living conditions were not plain error because the danger of unfair prejudice was not substantially outweighed by the probative value of the evidence.
