Question Presented (from Petition)

QUESTION 1: Certiorari should be granted to determine whether the purpose of
Rule 403 is to exclude relevant but substantially prejudicial evi
dence, that outweighes the probative value of extraneous sexual
offenses? Page 11

QUESTION 2: Certiorari should be granted to determine whether the Dallas Court
of Appeals' decision conflicts with Old Chief v. U.S. , when J.R.'s
sexual extraneous offense's probative value is outweighed by its
Page 13 prejudicial effect on the jury?

QUESTION 3:. Is this Court convinced that several sexual assaults occurred in a
four bedroom home with people living in it and one adult usually
being at the home, without anyone catching Petitioner in the act
and without anybody ever knowing about the allegations? Page 13-14

QUESTION 4: Certiorari should be granted to determine whether the jury was over
whelmed by the substantial amount of sexual extraneous offenses of
J.R., who was not named in the indictment, renders Petitioner's
trial fundamentially unfair by the danger of the unfair prejudice
against him?

QUESTION 5: Certiorari should be granted to determine whether Due Process Clause
affords relief where the sexual extraneous evidence concerning J.R.
had been the principle focus at trial?Page 15-16

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the purpose of Rule 403 is to exclude relevant but substantially prejudicial evidence that outweighs the probative value of extraneous sexual offenses
