Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

In a criminal trial for armed robbery, the prosecution seeks to introduce evidence that the defendant had previously been convicted of burglary. The defense argues that this evidence should be excluded. Which most accurately explains why the court should exclude the prior burglary conviction?

  • The prior conviction is admissible because it demonstrates a pattern of criminal behavior.

  • The defendant's prior conviction has limited relevance to the current charge of armed robbery.

  • The prior conviction is admissible to prove the defendant's intent during the armed robbery.

  • The prior conviction is relevant but its probative value is outweighed by the risk of unfair prejudice.
