  1. “"`Under the general exclusionary rule, evidence of collateral offenses of the accused is inadmissible to prove guilt on the now charged offense. Anonymous v. State , 507 So.2d 972 , 973 (Ala. 1987). However, evidence of collateral offenses may be admissible under certain exceptions to the exclusionary rule or for "other purposes" than to prove the accused's guilt. These exceptions or other purposes include motive, intent, identity, or common plan, design, or scheme. Bowden v. State , 538 So.2d 1226 , 1227 (Ala. 1988); Atkisson v. State , [ 640 So.2d 33 ] (Ala.Crim.App. 1993); Register v. State , [ 640 So.2d 3 ] (Ala.Crim.App. 1993).' " Williamson v. State , 629 So.2d 777 , 780 (Ala.Crim.App. 1993)."”
