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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Under State v. Prieur, 277 So.2d 126 (La.1973), and Art. 404B, the basic criteria for introduction of evidence of other crimes, as correctly stated by the trial judge, is (1) the evidence is not merely repetitive and cumulative, (2) the evidence is introduced for a relevant purpose and is not a subterfuge for depicting the defendant's bad character and (3) the evidence serves the actual purpose for which it is offered. See also State v. Hatcher, 372 So.2d 1024 (La.1979). Here, we cannot say the trial judge erred. Eisbruckner's inclination to intentionally set things on fire when upset or provoked was relevant to show he intended to and did in fact set fire to Mrs. Geoghegan's house. Evidence of other crimes is allowed when the probative value outweighs its prejudicial effect. See State v. Hamilton, 478 So.2d 123 (La.1985), cert. denied at 478 U.S. 1022 , 106 S.Ct. 3339 , 92 L.Ed.2d 743 (1986).”
