Heading: Weighing probative value and prejudice

Text: As to the third factor, the district court did not explicitly state the probative value of the 2003 conviction outweighed its prejudice. However, when the evidence was admitted, the court clarified to the jury that the 2003 conviction should be considered only to determine “motive, knowledge, intent, or absence of mistake” in the charged offense. Rec. vol. IV, at 202-03. W e owe the district court “substantial deference in 403 rulings,” United States v. Shumway, 112 F.3d 1413, 1422 (10th Cir. 1997) (internal quotation marks omitted), and we cannot say the court abused its discretion here when it implicitly determined the evidence was probative to the charged offense and not unduly prejudicial.
