Gaston, 261 A.D.2d 782, 690 N.Y.S.2d 327, lv. den., 92 N.Y.2d 901, 680 N.Y.S.2d 65, 702 N.E.2d 850); as a Molineux Hearing in the same situation (e.g., People v.

During trial Ardito became incompetent to stand trial, and the case against her was severed. 0000003871 00000 n Because the sentences referred to were directly related to ultimate issues in the case and as admissions by defendants were strongly persuasive and, therefore, not merely cumulative, we conclude that the Trial Judge did not err in admitting them. 3. There is, moreover, a greater probability of error, and consequent waste of scarce judicial resources, when evidentiary rulings are made during trial than in the more relaxed atmosphere of an inquiry out of the presence of the jury. Because of the ability and tendency of evidence that the Defendant committed other crimes or bad acts is usually too prejudicial to present to a jury, Molineaux evidence is supposed to be used sparingly. A Ventimiglia application concerns the admissibility of evidence of prior conduct, other than direct proof of a defendant's prior crime, which tends to implicate the defendant in the commission of the crime (People v. Ventimiglia, supra-defendants charged with murder admitted to a witness that they had a location for disposing of the body). Considered separately the third and fourth sentences of the testimony quoted above refer only to prior killings by defendants and should have been excluded because not relevant to or in any way probative of the charges being tried.

Because Ardito did not want Mattana killed in the house, they devised a plan whereby Mattana would be taken to a desolate area where the murder would go unnoticed. Moreover, the prosecutor's reference to the "where, why and how the murder was committed in the very remote section" where it was, while not including the words "premeditation" and [*361] "agreement", sufficiently presented the purposes for which the testimony was offered as the purposes for which we now hold the Trial Judge correctly admitted it, to withstand defendants' argument (predicated on the holding of People v Zackowitz, 254 NY 192, 199-200, supra) that to sustain admission of the evidence is to treat them unfairly.

The rule excluding evidence of uncharged crimes is based upon the human tendency more readily "to believe in the guilt of an accused person when it is known or suspected that he has previously committed a similar crime" (People v Molineux, 168 NY 264, 313; People v Allweiss, 48 NY2d 40, 47; see People v Zackowitz, 254 NY 192, 198) and is intended to eliminate the danger that a jury may convict to punish the person portrayed by the evidence before them even though not convinced beyond a reasonable doubt of his guilt of the crime of which he is charged. /Filter /FlateDecode The court should then assess how the evidence came into the case and the relevance and probativeness of, and necessity for it against its prejudicial effect, and either admit or exclude it in total, or admit it without the prejudicial parts when that can be done without distortion of its meaning (Dolan, op cit , supra, at pp 254-255). 2010].
