Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 30 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Before evidence of other crimes, wrongs, or acts can be admitted over proper objection, the trial court must determine that it is logically relevant to a material issue before the jury and that its probative value outweighs its potential for prejudice. ER 401; ER 403; State v. Kelly, 102 Wash.2d 188, 198 , 685 P.2d 564 (1984); State v. Saltarelli, 98 Wash.2d 358, 361-63 , 655 P.2d 697 (1982); State v. Robtoy, 98 Wash.2d 30, 42 , 653 P.2d 284 (1982); State v. Clark, 48 Wash.App. 850, 863 , 743 P.2d 822 , review denied, 109 Wash.2d 1015 (1987). In determining whether evidence is logically relevant, the trial court must find that it has a tendency to make more or less probable the existence of a fact that is of consequence to the action, ER 401, Saltarelli, 98 Wash.2d at 363 , 655 P.2d 697 ; see State v. Mutchler, 53 Wash.App. 898, 901 , 771 P.2d 1168 , review denied, 113 Wash.2d 1002 , 777 P.2d 1050 , (1989), State v. Thompson, 47 Wash.App. 1, 11 , 733 P.2d 584, review denied, 108 Wash.2d 1014 (1987), and generally that such fact will be similar to those listed in ER 404(b). Saltarelli, 98 Wash.2d at 362 , 655 P.2d 697 ; see State v. Goebel (Goebel I), 36 Wash.2d 367, 378-79 , 218 P.2d 300 (1950). In weighing probative value against prejudicial effect, the trial court must exercise its discretion, and its decision will be overturned only for abuse of discretion. Robtoy, 98 Wash.2d at 42 , 653 P.2d 284 ; Thompson, 47 Wash.App. at 12 , 733 P.2d 584 .”
