extraneous offense

A quick definition of extraneous offense:

An extraneous offense is when someone commits a crime that is not directly related to the main crime they are being accused of. For example, if someone is being charged with robbery, but they also committed a separate crime like vandalism, that would be considered an extraneous offense. It's important to note that extraneous offenses can still be punished, even if they are not the main focus of the case.

A more thorough explanation:

An extraneous offense is a violation of the law, often a minor one, that is unrelated to the main crime being investigated. It is an offense that is not directly related to the charges being brought against the defendant, but may be introduced as evidence to show a pattern of behavior or intent.

For example, if someone is being charged with robbery, evidence of a previous theft may be introduced as an extraneous offense to show a pattern of criminal behavior.

Another example of an extraneous offense is when someone is being charged with drug possession, but evidence of a previous DUI conviction is introduced to show a pattern of reckless behavior.

Extraneous offenses can be used to establish motive, intent, or a pattern of behavior that supports the charges being brought against the defendant.
