How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that other bad acts evidence that occurred five to fifteen years prior to the crime charged was admissible to demonstrate defendant’s intent and the absence of accident or mistake
- affirming circuit court’s admission of prior incidents of brandishing a weapon where those incidents occurred five to fifteen years earlier and involved other victims
- “[w]hile remoteness in time may weaken the probative value of evidence, such remoteness does not, in and of itself, necessarily justify exclusion of the evidence.”
