State v. Richard Willis (A-115-13; 073908)
The relevance of an alleged sexual assault three years before defendant’s encounter with K.M. was so marginal
that it should have been excluded. Moreover, the erroneous admission of this evidence cannot be considered harmless as the quality and quantity of the evidence, introduced to inform the jury of defendant’s intent in April 2006, overwhelmed the State’s case-in-chief.
