Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

A defendant is on trial for burglary. During the trial, the prosecution seeks to introduce evidence that the defendant, six months before the alleged burglary, purchased a specialized lock-picking tool. The defense objects to the introduction of this evidence, arguing that it is not relevant. How should the court rule?

  • The court should admit the evidence because it makes it more probable that the defendant committed the burglary.

  • The court should exclude the evidence because owning a lock-picking tool is not illegal and poses a risk of unfair prejudice against the defendant.

  • The court should exclude the evidence because it occurred six months prior to the alleged crime, making it too remote in time to be relevant.

  • The court should admit the evidence but provide a limiting instruction to the jury regarding its use.
