Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTION PRESENTED At Wilson’s jury trial the district court allowed testimony that Wilson sold drugs the day before the charged offenses as background evidence that was inextricably intertwined with and intrinsic to the charged offenses. Should the Court grant certiorari to make clear that Federal Rule of Evidence 404(b) now controls the use of other acts evidence, and that there is no “complete the story” or “inextricably intertwined” exception to the rule? 1 STATEMENT OF
