How has section 1109(a) of the California Criminal Code been interpreted at trial?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Sanchez, A145291 (Cal. App. 2016):
We hasten to add that the trial court strictly limited admission of the section 1109(a) evidence to acts committed within one year prior of the charged offenses, which greatly reduced the potential for the evidence to mislead the jury or to consume an undue amount of time at trial. As such, we affirm the trial court's ruling as a proper exercise of its discretion. (People v. Johnson, supra, 185 Cal.App.4th at p. 533.)
