State v. Dahlin12/8/1998
rother's testimony about why he needed Dahlin to pick him up. He also asserts that the introduction of this particular evidence raised the risk that the jury would convict him for crimes other than those charged or that it would convict on the basis that "a bad person deserves punishment."
. We, unlike Dahlin, credit the jury with the ability to distinguish between evidence concerning bad acts of Dahlin's brother and evidence concerning bad acts by Dahlin himself. We agree with the District Court that the jury was entitled to hear from all the available witnesses how this event came about. We hold that the District Court did not abuse its discretion in admitting the testimony of Meader and Nilsen.
. Affirmed.
