You are going to love this. So at my most recent murder trial I brought up the defendant’s homosexuality to prove motive in a way that the defendant’s attorney never expected. Obviously his attorney objected immediately on relevance grounds but at our sidebar conversation I explained that I wanted to show the defendant wanted to be imprisoned where he would be surrounded by only men. That was his motive to kill. When the Judge overruled the objection the defendant outraged, immediately got up to confess that he had done it but that he was not homosexual. Obviously his attorney moved to strike the confession but the judge explained that there was no lack of trustworthiness nor coercion. The jury didn’t deliberate very long before finding him guilty of aggravated murder. I know this is not really 404b related and this was also in a state, not federal proceeding but it had a surprising outcome.
The respondent in deposition stated he was not at a location. I have GPS evidence (freely given) off his phone verifying he was there (or at least his phone was). Any thoughts on how you would cross examine. Any chance I could email a few more details.
Stacy, shoot me an email with more particulars. Best to use thetrialadvocate@gmail.com. I’m giving a speech in a bit, but will look at it later today and get back to you. Please include your jurisdiction when you send the info. Thanks!

Great lecture on 404b
Great video!! I only wished that they would have made this video under the revised language of the Federal Rules of Evidence (post December 1, 2011).
