Supreme Court of Florida

Florida Statutes section 90.404(2)(b), dealing with the admissibility of evidence of a defendant's commission of prior crimes, wrongs, or acts of child molestation, comports with the requirements of due process of law when used as a conduit for evidence that corroborates the victim-s testimony that the crime occurred rather than to prove the identity of the alleged perpetrator.
