California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Medrano, A137914 (Cal. App. 2016):

not likely to confuse the jury, and the prior acts were not inflammatory. (See People v. Harris (1998) 60 Cal.App.4th 727, 738-739 [factors to consider include the amount of time it takes to present the evidence, the possibility of confusion, and whether the uncharged acts are more inflammatory than the charged conduct].) The court also properly instructed the jury that it could consider the evidence only for very limited purposesnot to show appellant "has a bad character or is disposed to commit crimes"and as only one factor, "along with all the other evidence," in determining whether appellant committed the charged offense.
