How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- concluding that a curative instruction “would have been appropriate” where the prosecutor “blatantly misstated the law” during closing argument
- concluding that admission of conviction for prior offense was unduly prejudicial under Rule 404(b)(2)(C) in trial for later commission of same offense
- probative value must be considered in the context of its incremental value and the extent to which the issue is established by other evidence
- “Because of the similarity of the [prior] conviction . . . and the charged crimes, the jury may have been persuaded to find the defendant guilty, at least in part, because he had previously committed the same offense.” (quotation omitted)
- curative instruction appropriate where prosecutor “blatantly misstated the law”
