40. it is extremely common evidence

It is evidence that is often allowed in at trials to show intent, planning, patterns, etc. The issue is whether it is more probative than prejudicial. If the judge made a good record of his/her reasoning to allow it in, it will likely not be overturned on appeal.

His behavior shows a really sick individual. His societal power allowed him to get away with his ugly scary behavior for decades. It is difficult for him to realize that his power is gone.
