| 2 | United States v. Bowie, Juan | green | “the rule excludes only that evidence that is offered (or will be used) solely for the purpose of proving bad character and hence conduct in conformity with that bad character.” | 23 |
| 3 | Vasquez v. State | green | “to violate rule 403, it is not enough that the evidence is 'prejudicial'-it must be unfairly prejudicial.” | 10 |
| 4 | Davis v. State | green | “the term 'probative value' refers to the inherent probative force of an item of evidence-that is, how strongly it serves to make more or less probable the existence of a fact of consequence to the litigation-coupled with the proponent's need for that item of evidence.” | 10 |
