green
1 sentence1992Commonwealth v. Little, supra. *842 The judge limited the jury’s use of this evidence by explaining that, “[i]f you find that the defendant caused the prior injury, then you may consider this evidence on the issue of [the defendant’s] state of mind and intent on the morning of August 15, 1988.” Such an instruction tends to offset any improper prejudicial effect of evidence that might be thought to show the defendant’s bad character or propensity for violent acts and focuses the jury’s attention on the proper application of the evidence. | 1 | 1992–1992 |
