Is evidence of a person's character and uncharged misconduct admissible in a criminal case?

Generally, evidence of a person's character, including specific instances of uncharged misconduct, is inadmissible to prove that person's conduct on a specified occasion. (Evid. Code, 1101, subd. (a); People v. Fuiava, supra, 53 Cal.4th at p. 667.) However, evidence of prior crimes and uncharged misconduct is admissible if it is relevant to prove some fact, such as motive, opportunity, intent, preparation, plan, knowledge or identity. (Evid. Code, 1101, subd. (b); People v. Fuiava, supra, 53 Cal.4th at p. 667.)
