STATE of Louisiana v. Darryl JOHNSON.
    No. 2015-KK-1172.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Oct. 2, 2015.
   PER CURIAM.

h Granted. The trial court abused its discretion in determining that the “other crimes” evidence the state sought to introduce under La. C.E. art. 404(B) was not admissible. The “other crimes” evidence at issue — another incident of strangulation — sufficiently “satisfies the purposes enumerated by article 404(B). Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is reversed, and the state’s motion for admissibility of “other crimes” evidence under article 404(B) is granted.

WEIMER, J., dissents and assigns reasons.

WEIMER, J.,

dissenting.

11 Given the concessions and limited analysis advanced by the state, which is contrasted with th¿ careful analysis of the trial court, I would grant and docket this matter for further review arid analysis rather than deciding this issue in a summary fashiori.
