question

A man was arrested and charged with sexually assaulting a child. At trial, in its case-in-chief, the prosecution seeks to introduce evidence that the man had twice been previously involved in similar cases with other children. The prosecution argues that these past crimes demonstrate the likelihood that the man molested this child. Defense counsel objects to the evidence regarding other children. The judge should find the evidence

category

options

  1. inadmissible, because the prosecution cannot initiate evidence of bad character.
  2. admissible, because the evidence of past crimes is relevant to the case at hand.
  3. inadmissible, because the evidence of past crimes is prejudicial and would bias the jury.
  4. admissible, because the man's past crimes demonstrate a pattern of behavior.
  5. inadmissible, because past crimes may not be introduced to prove disposition to commit certain acts.
  6. inadmissible, because the man's past crimes are not similar enough to the current charge.
  7. admissible, because a common plan or scheme may be proven by other similar criminal acts.
  8. admissible, as long as the evidence of past crimes does not outweigh its probative value.
  9. inadmissible, because past crimes are not relevant to the case at hand.
  10. admissible, because the man's past crimes may be introduced to show that he is more likely to have committed the crime with which he is charged.
