Description

This appeal from Defendant's convictions for second degree murder and attempted murder provides us with yet another opportunity to consider the admissibility of evidence of other bad acts under SCRA 1986, 11-404(B) (Repl. 1994). Defendant raises the following issues: (1) admission of evidence of prior bad acts; (2) denial of motion for mistrial based on the prosecutor's comments concerning Defendant's plea to a prior offense; (3) admission of Defendant's statement to the police; (4) refusal to instruct the jury on defense of habitation; and (5) cumulative error. Our analysis will focus principally on the first issue. We affirm.
