The following excerpt is from People v. Penn, D073708 (Cal. App. 2018):
"Evidence that a defendant committed crimes other than those for which he [or she] is on trial is admissible when it is logically, naturally, and by reasonable inference relevant to prove some fact at issue, such as motive [or] intent" (People v. Daniels (1991)
Page 29
52 Cal.3d 815, 856), or to "overcome [a defendant's] defense." (People v. Wilson (1991) 227 Cal.App.3d 1210, 1216.)
