F 852 Note 4 Prior Acts To Show Criminal Disposition: Admissibility Of Prior Acts Of Good Conduct Offered By Defendant
Rules of evidence such as EC 1108 permit the prosecution to present prior bad acts to prove criminal propensity. However, when such propensity evidence is admitted, the defendant should have a right to defend against the prior acts indirectly by presenting evidence which would disprove the propensity such as prior acts where the defendant exhibited good conduct in similar situations. (See People v. Callahan (1999) 74 CA4th 356.)
