unfairly prejudicial? what kind of crap is that?
As I understand it, he has a previous charge for running over his ex girlfriend's foot with a car. If he has been convicted of that offense, then it probably would be admissible.
Using DUI/DWI as an example, if you have 1 conviction for DWI and are then arrested again for the same offense, the previous conviction can be used against you because while prejudicial, it's not unfairly so. However, if you were previously arrested under suspicion of DWI, but it was never proven/you weren't actually under the influence then it would be unfair to use that against you in the future.
The rules of law aren't always pretty, but they mostly exist to protect the rights of the people.
