California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Burgin, G046982 (Cal. App. 2013):
We review the relevant law. Under section 1101, subdivision (b) (section 1101(b)), evidence of uncharged conduct is admissible if it is relevant to prove certain facts, including identity and plan. The evidence, however, '"must not contravene other policies limiting admission, such as those contained in . . . section 352."' (People v. Balcom (1994) 7 Cal.4th 414, 426.)
