Introduced Text

Nebraska LB1036 amends the state's Evidence Rules to allow consideration of other crimes, wrongs, or acts in certain circumstances.

Nebraska LB1036 modifies the Nebraska Evidence Rules to allow for the consideration of evidence of other crimes, wrongs, or acts under specific conditions. This evidence can be used when it is inextricably intertwined with the charged crime or for other purposes such as proving motive, opportunity, intent, preparation, plan, knowledge, identity, or absence of mistake or accident. The bill also specifies that such evidence must be proven by clear and convincing evidence and that the jury must be instructed to consider it only for the limited purpose for which it was admitted.
