¶1dissenting:
¶2The majority expands the definition of “motive” contained in NRS 48.045(2) to permit prior sexual bad acts to show Ledbetter is a pervert. The admission of these prior bad acts is based on a more legally recognized ground and it is preferable to me over admitting the evidence to show a “sexual aberration.” But the end result is the same — evidence of prior sexual acts is permitted to show the defendant’s character and that he is a pervert. And the evidence is so prejudicial to the defendant, I cannot see how it can be determined more probative than prejudicial when we are dealing with a collateral event and explosive evidence against the defendant.
¶3However, I am pleased to see that we will now be receiving this highly prejudicial evidence under a more appropriate legal exception to the general rule that prohibits character evidence and the admission of prior bad acts.
