2017Following a pretrial similar transaction hearing, the trial court ruled that, in construing Rule 417, the 2006 DUI conviction was *199 admissible, because, per State v. Frost , 297 Ga. 296 , 305, 773 S.E.2d 700 (2015), proof of a prior DUI may strengthen substantially the inference about the presence of an intoxicant.
