How courts have described this case

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

deciding that evidence of the defendant's threatening behavior towards the victim and towards another in her presence in the days immediately preceding the charged offense was relevant to and probative of his intent towards the victim and her own state of mind
finding evidence of the defendant’s other bad acts relevant to show the victim’s state of mind at the time of the charged offenses
analyzing defendant’s intertwined statements and behavior shortly preceding charged events under Rule 404(b)
prior threats against victim admissible to prove assault because probative of defendant’s intent to intimidate and terrorize victim
inadmissible testimony “so inflammatory” we cannot say beyond a reasonable doubt it had no effect on verdict
subsequent bad act evidence “must be fairly close in time and in some significant way connected to material events constituting the crime charged”
