The State [will now offer] [has offered] evidence that the Defendant at another time engaged in [other crimes] [wrongs] or [acts]. That evidence was not admitted to prove the character of the Defendant or to show he acted in conformity therewith. The only purpose of admitting that evidence was to show [proof of motive] [opportunity] [plan] [knowledge] [identity] [absence of mistake or accident]. You may not use that evidence for any other purpose.
The Defendant is not being tried for that other [crime] [wrong] or [act]. He may not be convicted for any other offense than that charged in this case. For the jury to convict the Defendant of any other offense than that charged in this case may result in unjust double punishment of the Defendant.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
