Syllabus

CRIMINAL – Evidence of alleged previous criminal activity involving the victim constitute other acts evidence, but was offered to establish Appellant's motive to murder the victim. Compelling evidence in addition to the other acts evidence contravened Appellant's argument that the outcome of the trial would have been different but for the admission of other acts evidence and the trial court's failure to provide a limiting instruction. Manifest weight of the evidence, which included falsehoods told to investigators by Appellant, supported Appellant's convictions for murder.
