Evidence — other acts — motive
Johnny Maldonado appeals a judgment of conviction entered after a jury found him guilty of one count of first-degree intentional homicide and one count of attempted first-degree intentional homicide, both by use of a dangerous weapon and as a party to a crime. He contends that the circuit court erred by admitting evidence of other acts under Wis. Stat. § 904.04(2) (2011-12). Because we conclude that the evidence was relevant to prove motive, and because the evidence was not unfairly prejudicial, we affirm. This opinion will not be published.
