McCORMICK, Justice
(concurring specially).
I doubt that the fact of defendant’s previous conviction in Texas for possession with intent to distribute marijuana was probative on the issue of whether defendant knew that drug dealers weigh marijuana on scales. It does not appear, however, that defendant preserved error because he made no objection when the evidence was offered at trial. When a motion in limine is overruled, error is not preserved unless objection is made when the evidence is offered. Twyford, v. Weber, 220 N.W.2d 919, 924 (Iowa 1974). I therefore concur in the result.
