Criminal Law Supreme Court Opinion

by Townsend, Karen

 

SC20792 - State v. Marcello E. (“On appeal, the defendant asks us to reject the Appellate Court’s conclusion that the prior misconduct evidence was admissible and instead to conclude that it was not relevant to a material fact in the case, and, even if it were relevant, that its probative value did not outweigh its prejudicial effect. We agree with the defendant to the extent that the evidence was unduly prejudicial and harmful and therefore reverse the judgment of the Appellate Court and order a remand of the case for a new trial.”)
