“"As an exception to the general rule, the law permits the proof of criminal acts of the defendant to show criminal intent. In Hayes v. State , 384 So.2d 623 (Ala.Cr.App. 1979), writ quashed, 384 So.2d 627 (Ala. 1980), the court stated at page 626: " 'If the accused is charged with a crime that requires a prerequisite intent, then prior or subsequent criminal acts are admissible to show that he had the necessary intent when he committed the now charged crime. McElroy's Alabama Evidence , §§ 69.01(5), 70.01(2). See Fikes v. State , 263 Ala. 89 , 81 So.2d 303 ; McKenzie v. State , 250 Ala. 178 , 33 So.2d 488 ; Hogue v. State , 54 Ala. App. 682 , 312 So.2d 86 . . .' (Emphasis supplied.)"”
