- affirming admission of \prior bad acts\ testimony to show knowledge, common scheme or plan, and a business enterprise in connection with drug 8 charges
- admitting evidence of conduct from 1975 to 1979 for crime occurring in 1983
- evidence that defen- dant used to transport marijuana sufficiently similar to instant charges of conspiracy to possess marijuana with intent to deliver and posses- sion of marijuana
- evidence of prior use of tractor trailers to transport marijuana from southern states to northeastern states was sufficiently linked to charged conduct of conspiracy to use tractor trailers to transport marijuana from southern states to northeastern states
- admission of testimony that defendant had transported drugs on prior occasions was consistent with Rule 403 in part because it showed scheme or plan and therefore had sig- nificant probative value
- eight years prior not too remote
