“In drug cases, evidence of other drug violations is relevant and admissible if it tends to show . . . disposition to deal in illicit drugs. ... 36 N.C. App. at 375 , 243 S.E. 2d at 919 .”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Willis · State v. Haynes““Evidence of other offenses is inadmissible on the issue of guilt if its only relevancy is to show the character of the accused or his disposition to commit an offense of the nature of the one charged; but if it tends to prove any other relevant fact it will not be excluded merely because it also shows him to have been guilty of an independent crime.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“We find little support in case law for the proposition that the trial court is required to charge that a police officer or any other witness is an interested witness as a matter of law. ... However, the court, though it charges that defendant is an interested witness, is not required to find that any other witness is per se an interested witness.”
