His previous charges and convictions were not entered into evidence as they were determined to be unfairly prejudicial.

I believe the only items regarding prior offenses entered in were the two bond agreements as two of his charges were for violating those agreements.

Wasn't that also used as the only potential motive for what caused everything?

He got mad she didn't pay for his bond or something and that's what led to the fight which led to him driving off in a rage through the parade

Too bad (though it shouldn't matter, they need to come to a guilty charge regardless).

I'm no lawyer, but it sure seems relevant in terms of showing a trend of behavior.

Another Question: Can a juror make a case for a mistrial? I know if I let some creep off because I didn't have some information that I thought was relevant, I'd be PO'd.

unfairly prejudicial? what kind of crap is that?
You are who you are by your actions, as the DA said in her closing arguments.

I get that you want to judge them on this one act, but that's not how the world works at any level. There's a reason why a 2nd offense is harsher than the 1st, and the third offense is harsher than the 2nd, whether you got a DWI or you were talking in class in 2nd grade. You can't just ignore the past. Yea it does cause you to become prejudice, and that's fair. It's unfair to completely admonish a piece of shite of all the piece of shite things he did before his final act as the biggest piece of shite.
