Defense Motion in Limine #8 RE Unnoticed 404b Evidence
Link: Defense Motion in Limine #8 RE Unnoticed 404b Evidence
In Motion in Limine #8, the defense requests that the court exclude any evidence of prior crimes, wrongs, or acts under Idaho Rule of Evidence 404(b) that the prosecution has not properly noticed. As of the motion's filing date, the prosecution has only notified the defense of its intent to introduce evidence related to a prior traffic stop involving Mr. Kohberger.
The defense emphasizes that, according to I.R.E. 404(b)(1), evidence of other crimes or wrongs is generally inadmissible to prove a person's character for the purpose of suggesting they acted in conformity with that character on a particular occasion. Such evidence may only be admitted for specific purposes, such as proving motive, opportunity, intent, preparation, plan, knowledge, identity, absence of mistake, or lack of accident.
