State v. Carter

Opinion of the Court

Further, the 404(B) evidence which the state seeks to introduce is highly prejudicial. Even assuming, arguendo, that the state's evidence meets the strict standards of La.Code Evid. art. 404(B), the evidence is unquestionably more prejudicial than probative, in contravention of La.Code Evid. art. 403, and should not be allowed. Therefore, I would grant this writ, reverse the trial court's ruling, and deny the state's Prieur motion.
