well as i read that, the judge considered whether the prior crimes fit within the admissibility standards [they are not given and as i said would vary] and determined the robbery did but not the carjacking. they do have to follow the standards and not be swayed by emotions, but like i said, predelictions of the judge enters into those considerations. i don’t recall much about criminal law, but one thing i do remember is that they talked about a continuum and where you fall on it, are you more afraid of the cops or the perps. your spot on that continuum will determine how you look at criminal cases.

(Not to be confused with the Continuum Transfunctioner, a mysterious and powerful device.)
