What is the test for admitting a prior conviction of false imprisonment?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Winn, 767 F.2d 527 (9th Cir. 1985):
The balancing test which weighs probative value against prejudicial effect is committed to the sound discretion of the trial court. United States v. Bailleaux, 685 F.2d 1105, 1110 (9th Cir.1982). In view of the relevance of appellant's prior conviction to the present charge and the court's limiting instruction to the jury, the district court did not abuse its discretion when it admitted appellant's prior conviction.
