4 later decisions quote this exact passage“The rationale underlying this rule is grounded in the view that "[e]vidence of other crimes, when not properly related to the cause on trial, violates defendant's right to be tried for the offense for which he is indicted." This right arises from the guarantee of article I, sections 17 and 18(a) of the Missouri Constitution that a defendant has the right to be tried only on the offense charged.

Article I, section 18(a) states "[t]hat in criminal prosecutions the accused shall have the right... to demand the nature and cause of the accusation...."”
