P. v. Rodgers
Ronnie Rodgers was charged with attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, and making criminal threats after attacking a hotel manager with a pair of scissors. The jury heard evidence of four prior stabbing incidents by Rodgers, with consideration of the evidence limited to the issue of whether Rodgers acted with the intent to kill in the current assault. The jury acquitted Rodgers of attempted murder, but convicted her of the other charges. Rodgers argues the limiting instruction given to the jury improperly allowed the jury to consider the prior bad acts evidence with respect to the criminal threats charge. We disagree and affirm.
