What is the effect of admitting evidence of an uncharged offence over defendant's objection?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Mora, H036371 (Cal. App. 2012):
Because we find that the trial court did not abuse its discretion under state law in admitting the evidence of the uncharged offense over defendant's objection, his contention that the admission of the evidence violated his constitutional right to due process is also without merit. (See Fuiava, supra, 53 Cal.4th at p. 670; People v. Riggs (2008) 44 Cal.4th 248, 292.)
