What is the test for admissibility of evidence of an uncharged crime?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Little, B259209 (Cal. App. 2017):
"There is an additional requirement for the admissibility of evidence of uncharged crimes: The probative value of the uncharged offense evidence must be substantial and must not be largely outweighed by the probability that its admission would create a serious danger of undue prejudice, of confusing the issues, or of misleading the jury. [Citation.]" (People v. Kipp, supra, 18 Cal.4th at p. 371.)
