Gunderson, C. J.,
concurring:
Although I can concur in the result reached by my brethren, I suggest we should not re-institute use of the term “res gestae,” which I believe the Nevada Evidence Code renders obsolete, and which I believe lacks utility. See: I J. Wigmore, Evidence, § 218 at 720-721 (3rd ed. 1940).
Moreover, while the error may be deemed harmless upon the record of this case, I cannot agree that testimony of a different kind of sexual misconduct, with a child of a different sex, on a different day, can properly be admitted to show “motive or a common plan or scheme.”
