Is a defendant's unsanitized prior criminal conviction more prejudicial than probative of the witness's credibility?

nature of the unsanitized prior convictions would be more prejudicial than probative of the witness's credibility. (See People v. Sandoval (1992) 4 Cal.4th 155, 177-178.) And we cannot conclude it abused its broad discretion in sanitizing such convictions after concluding the underlying facts of those convictions could be confusing to a jury given the involvement of a firearm in those offenses and in the instant case. (See id. at p. 178 [concluding "[b]ecause of the similarity of the prior to one of the charged crimes," court did not abuse its discretion in sanitizing defendant's prior conviction "by allowing reference to the conviction only as a prior felony conviction"]; People v. Massey (1987) 192 Cal.App.3d 819, 825 [court did not abuse discretion in sanitizing defendant's prior convictions instead of "risking the prejudice inherent in being similar crimes to those charged"].)
