Description
The defendant, James Robert Hough, was convicted of rape, sexual perversion, and robbery, contrary to secs. 944.01, 944.17
(1), and 943.32 (1) (b), Stats., respectively, and sentenced to twenty-nine years for rape, five years consecutively for sexual
perversion, and ten years concurrently for robbery. The principal issue on review is whether testimony concerning alleged prior acts of the defendant should have been excluded
from evidence on the theory that (1) the alleged prior acts were dissimilar in character and not proximate in time; (2) the
prejudicial effect of such evidence outweighed its probative value; and (3) the evidence could not be introduced on cross-examination
and in rebuttal. The defendant also argues that the trial court should have instructed the jury, on its own motion, on the
limited purpose of the prior act evidence. Counsel for the defendant further argues that the evidence was insufficient to
sustain the conviction, and that a new trial should be granted in the interest of Justice.
