The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Lawrence P. Frumusa, Appellant

Summary

The Court held that the contempt order was not Molineux (propensity) evidence and that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in admitting it, because the order was relevant to the defendant’s intent and its probative value was not substantially outweighed by prejudice. Accordingly, the Appellate Division’s judgment was affirmed.
