2012While both of these crimes may have had some superficial similarities as nighttime burglaries of occupied dwellings, "[s]imilar, but independent crimes are not admissible." Owens, 2010 OK CR 1, ¶ 15 , 229 P.3d at 1267 . ¶ 16 Nevertheless, this Court has recognized that separate offenses characterized by a "highly peculiar method" of operation suffice to show a common scheme because a "highly peculiar method" may constitute a unique signature that goes to the identity exception of Section 2404(B).

1995We find that the complete bar rule fails to effectively achieve the objectives of the UCATA and fails to recognize the Legislature intended to abolish the old common law rule and abrogate the view espoused by this Court in Broum v. Brown, supra. Under the complete bar rule, an injured party may unknowingly surrender a cause of action which was never fully compensated simply because a boilerplate release was used.
