dissents from the writ denial.

I would grant this writ. Apparently, from the application, the trial judge made a pretrial ruling without hearing testimony, medical evidence, or examining police reports.

At the least, the trial judge should not let into evidence the eleven year old incident regarding defendant and a prior wife without some showing that it is relevant to demonstrate intent, knowledge, or system and otherwise complies with State v. Prieur, 277 So.2d 126 (La. 1973).

In Re Fortino, Eugene; — Defendant; Applying for Supervisory and/or Remedial Writs, Parish of Jefferson, 24th Judicial District Court Div. G, Nos. 01^4444; to the Court of Appeal, Fifth Circuit, No. 01-K-1364.

Denied.
