Question Presented (AI Summary)

Where evidence of prior narcotics sales was introduced at trial to establish both a relationship of trust among co-conspirators, as well as how their criminal relationship developed, should certiorari be granted to limit the misuse of such Rule 404(b) evidence, where the clear and obvious basis of the relationship turned not on drugs, but, rather, simply living together, and having an intimate sexual relationship with one another?
