State, 862 So.2d 687, 701 (Fla.2003).

2014In Huggins, 889 So.2d at 756-57 , the supreme court concluded that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in performing this balancing test where it tried to limit the danger of unfair prejudice by giving the jury a limiting instruction regarding the use of the evidence and by not informing the jury of the nature of crimes.
