2000This is an application by the People, pursuant to People v Ventimiglia ( 52 NY2d 350 ) and People v Molineux ( 168 NY 264 ), for permission to present testimony that the defendant, who is charged with operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol in violation of section 1192 (3) of the Vehicle and Traffic Law, had been previously convicted of the same crime in violation of subdivision (2).

1969(See, e.g., People v. Dales, supra, p. 101 ; People v. Molineux, supra, pp. 297-299 ; People v. Peckens, supra; Mayer v. People, supra.) In such cases it is recognized that “ proof of intent is often unobtainable except by evidence of successive repetitions of the act.” (People v. Molineux, supra, p. 298 .) Analytically, the problem is one of the similarity of the other misconduct with the crime charged.
