Heading: Uncharged crimes contained in defendant's list of crimes

Text: (60) Defendant asserts the uncharged assaults contained in his written list of crimes should have been excised. Although it might have been both possible and reasonable to do so, we fail to see how defendant was prejudiced; the trial court explained to the jury that sometimes charges can't be proved for various reasons and so they are not made. In addition, pursuant to a stipulation, the jury was specifically instructed that it was not to concern itself with the reasons these two crimes were not charged in this case. ( Ante, p. 1094.) Similarly, defendant challenges the stipulation regarding the uncharged offenses. We fail to perceive in what way the stipulation was improper. Absent evidence that the jury failed to follow the court's instruction, we cannot conclude defendant was prejudiced by the stipulation.
