Oregon Supreme Court March 4, 1981, B51-426, CA 16632, SC 27217 (State v. Madison)

*575

TONGUE, J.

Defendant was convicted of resisting arrest. ORS 162.315. On appeal he assigned as error the denial of his pretrial "motion in limine” to exclude testimony relating to events preceding his arrest on the ground that any relevance of such evidence was outweighed by its prejudice and that such testimony would also improperly introduce evidence of other crimes.
