Description

1. Trial court did not err in admitting evidence of prior misconduct by defendant which was relevant to defendant's guilt, and Spreigl notice of prosecutor's intent to introduce this evidence was not needed since prior incident was part of immediate episode, out of which charges against defendant arose. 2. Admission of an eight-year-old aggravated assault conviction for impeachment purposes was harmless error under the circumstances of this case; defendant, by failing to object, forfeited his right to raise on appeal the issue of the trial court's failure to give a cautionary instruction limiting the use of this evidence.
