The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“Evidence of other acts or wrongs is not admissible to prove a person’s character. Minn.R.Evid. 404(b). It is admissible, though, if relevant, to show the relationship between the defendant and the victim. State v. Thieman, 439 N.W.2d 1, 6 (Minn.1989) (prior threat admissible to show strained relationship); ... In this case, the evidence was introduced to show Thompson’s relationships with [the victim] and her mother, and it was relevant because the state claimed those relationships were the basis for [the victim’s] retraction of her allegations. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by allowing the evidence.”
