The following excerpt is from People v. Harrison, A129229 (Cal. App. 2012):
Against the probative value of the evidence we balance its prejudicial effect on the defense. "In general, 'the probative value of the evidence must be balanced against four factors: (1) the inflammatory nature of the uncharged conduct; (2) the possibility of confusion of issues; (3) remoteness in time of the uncharged offenses; and (4) the amount of time involved in introducing and refuting the evidence of uncharged offenses.' [Citation.]" (People v. Daniels (2009) 176 Cal.App.4th 304, 316.)
