1. “Evidence of other crimes, wrongs, or acts is not admissible to prove the character of a person in order to show action in conformity therewith. It may, however, be admissible for other purposes, such as proof of motive, opportunity, intent, preparation, plan, knowledge, *Page 478 identity, or absence of mistake or accident, provided that upon request by the accused, the prosecution in a criminal case shall provide reasonable notice in advance of trial , or during trial if the court excuses pretrial notice on good cause shown, of the general nature of any such evidence it intends to introduce at trial. " (Emphasis added.) O'Callaghan argued at trial, as she does on appeal, that in her discovery motion filed with the trial court she made the following request: "4. Any and all information about the Defendant's prior criminal record, including, but not limited to, arrests, convictions, periods of incarceration and present probationary or parole status.”
