3.11 Evidence of Other Acts by Defendant refers to any evidence presented in court that shows a defendant has committed similar crimes or engaged in similar behavior in the past. This evidence can be used in trials to demonstrate a defendant’s propensity for committing a certain crime. There are two main types of 3.11 Evidence of Other Acts by Defendant: Character Evidence and Collateral Acts. Character Evidence is a type of 3.11 Evidence of Other Acts by Defendant that shows a defendant’s past behavior or character traits in order to prove that the defendant acted in a certain way in the current case. This type of evidence is usually inadmissible, as it focuses on the defendant’s character rather than the specific facts of the case. Collateral Acts are a type of 3.11 Evidence of Other Acts by Defendant that involve specific incidents of a defendant committing similar crimes or engaging in similar behavior in the past. This type of evidence is usually allowed in court as it focuses on the specific facts rather than a defendant’s character.
