Prosecution of D for robbing a store

/in /by

Prosecution of D for robbing a store. The robber entered before closing, put on a salesperson’s uniform, and pretended to work there. After the store closed and everyone else left, the robber took off the uniform and stole all the DVD players. D denies involvement. To prove D’s guilt, the prosecution offers evidence that a month earlier; D stole all the DVD players from a different store using the same method. D denies committing the prior robbery, and objects. How should the court rule?

    1. The court should sustain the objection unless D was charged criminally for that robbery.
    2. The court should sustain the objection unless the prosecution convinces the court by a preponderance of the evidence that D committed the prior robbery.
    3. The court should sustain the objection unless the prosecution offers evidence sufficient to support a finding that D committed the prior robbery.
    4. The court should sustain the objection even if D admits committing the prior robbery.
