Syllabus
Whether, during a trial for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, the trial court properly admitted testimony regarding defendant's prior possession of a firearm under Rule 404(b) whether that testimony was unfairly prejudicial and therefore should have been excluded under Rule 403 whether the Court of Appeals erred by reviewing for prejudicial error as opposed to plain error.
