holding that a reviewing court should determine admissibility under either Rule 404 or Rule 609 if the trial court failed to comply with the procedural requirements
noting that even a prior conviction identical or similar to the crime at issue may be admissible to impeach, although the prejudicial effect may be increased by similarity
“Just as in Rule 404(b), we now conclude that if a trial court fails to comply with the procedural requirements of Rule 609,10 then the court’s decision to admit or exclude a prior conviction is not entitled to deference by the reviewing court.”
