Other Acts Evidence, Other Bad Acts

On Monday, I am going to trial on an Attempted Sexual Assault, Kidnapping and Felony Battery charge. Yesterday, the government attempted to introduce "other acts evidence" against my client. It is an area that is very problematic for people accused of crimes. Prosecutors get to attempt to introduce evidence regarding other bad acts your client has done under the legal theory it goes to intent or motive. The reality is, it shows a jury that he did something before, he must have done it again.
