Docket No. 91-KK-1617.

State v. Bailey

STATE of Louisiana v. Bruce BAILEY, Jr.

Supreme Court of Louisiana

Decided November 1, 1991.

Supreme Court of Louisiana · decided 1991-11-01

Relies on 354 So. 2d 1334 - State v. Sutfield · 403 So. 2d 665 - State v. Acliese

Decided 1991-11-01

¶1PER CURIAM.

¶2Writ granted in part and denied in part. Regarding the other crimes evidence of the two older girls for which the defendant does not stand charged, the district court's ruling permitting such testimony at trial is reversed. That testimony does not establish the defendant's particular motive for committing the charged crime against the prosecutrix, see State v. Sutfield, 354 So.2d 1334 (La.1978), and it otherwise fails to establish a pattern of committing sexual offenses against the same prosecutrix. State v. Acliese, 403 So.2d 665 (La.1981).

¶3Regarding the other crimes evidence involving the defendant's three stepdaughters for which he is currently charged, the district court's ruling and the court of appeal's affirmance permitting use of such evidence is affirmed for reasons assigned by the court of appeal.

¶4

DECREE

¶5For the foregoing reasons, the judgment of the district court is reversed in part and affirmed in part.

¶6REVERSED IN PART AND AFFIRMED IN PART.
