This presentation will review the origin and reasons behind Rule 404(c), explore what types of evidence are admissible under this rule (and why), and compare and contrast Rule 404(c) with other rules of evidence that may apply to similar conduct. This program covers the fundamentals that all prosecutors need to know about Rule 404(c), but also reviews significant developments in the case law that have shaped how the rule is applied in practice.
