82 - United States v. Campos and MRE 404(b) regarding Charged Conduct

Today we discuss the CAAF case of United States v. Campos, decided on February 19, 2025.  It is an important case for defense counsel because the court provides important distinctions between what might be admissible as aggravation evidence in the prosecution's sentencing case, but is improper in an unsworn victim impact statement.  We then hear from Major Ciara Ryan who discusses how to object when the government notices M.R.E. 404(b) evidence, but the evidence they seek to admit for a relevant non-propensity purpose is already coming in to prove a separate charged offense.
