Does the contention that the offered evidence must be identical with the crime charged is without support?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Sizelove, 134 Cal.App.2d 104, 285 P.2d 4 (Cal. App. 1955):
The contention that the criminal act involved in the offered evidence must be identical with the crime charged is without support. People v. Schneider, 126 Cal.App. 749, 14 P.2d 1018, 15 P.2d 540, is not authority for appellants' contention on that point. It involved acts which did not constitute violations of the Penal Code. Therefore, they were not proof of criminal intent.
