These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 47 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is well-settled, however, that to be admissible for any purpose the other offenses must have occurred at a time not too remote from the time of commission of the principal offense. United States v. Adderly, 529 F.2d 1178 , 1180 (5th Cir. 1976); United States v. Arteaga-Limones, 529 F.2d 1183 , 1196-97 (5th Cir. 1976); United States v. Kirk, 528 F.2d 1057 , 1060 (5th Cir. 1976). Here, the prostitution offense was committed some fifteen years prior to appellant’s trial. Hence, evidence of it should have been excluded because of its remoteness.”
