Supreme Court of California

The dictum approving the 1999 revised CALJIC No. 2.50.01 in People v. Falsetta (1999) 21 Cal.4th 903, which rejected a due process challenge to Evidence Code section 1108, a statute that allows evidence of the defendant's uncharged sex crimes to be introduced in a sex offense prosecution to demonstrate the defendant's disposition to commit such crimes, was correct. The 1999 version of CALJIC No. 2.50.01 correctly states the law.
