1. “"`"* * * [T]he actual need for the other-crimes-evidence in the light of the issues and the other evidence available to the prosecution, the convincingness of the evidence that the other crimes were committed and that the accused was the actor, and the strength or weakness of the other-crimes-evidence in supporting the issue, * * * the degree to which the jury will probably be roused by the evidence to overmastering hostility." McCormick, Evidence 326, 332, § 157 (1954).' State v. Lehmann, 6 Or. App. 600 , 488 P.2d 1383 (1971); State v. Williams, 16 Or. App. 361 , 518 P.2d 1049 , rev. den. (1974)." 29 Or.

2. ““When approaching the question of admissibility of ‘other crime’ evidence courts often state as a rule that this evidence is inadmissible unless it comes under one of the many exceptions to that particular exclusionary rule. To state such a general rule masks the complete progression of analysis in determining admissibility. It is more proper to first determine if the proffered evidence is relevant, without regard to its character, and then determine if there is some recognized exclusionary rule in the law of evidence which would nevertheless keep it out.” 562 P.2d at 590 .”
