“proof of motive, opportunity, intent, preparation, plain knowledge, identity or absence of mistake or accident.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissent“the mere fact of a prior non-consentual [sic] sexual incident in the absence of a factual context that makes its admission relevant, is not admissible to refute a consent defense, Alsteen, supra. However, where, as here, the prior and current offense share many features in common, the prior offense is highly relevant and [its probative value is] not [substantially] outweighed by the [danger of unfair] prejudice.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissent“'the question on appeal is not whether this court, ruling initially on the admissibility of the evidence, would have permitted it to come in, but whether the trial court exercised its discretion in accordance with accepted legal standards and in accordance with the facts of record.'”
