How have the courts treated the evidence of uncharged crimes against a defendant in a criminal case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Tibbitts, A130868 (Cal. App. 2012):

Nor was the evidence particularly inflammatory. Given that the evidence of the uncharged offenses was very similar to the charged offenses, the jury was not likely to have had a stronger reaction to defendant's criminal behavior than it might otherwise have had. (People v. Branch (2001) 91 Cal.App.4th 274, 283-284.)
