152409P.pdf   07/08/2016  United States  v.  Colin Boone
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-2409
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
[PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Melloy and Colloton, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Criminal law. In the prosecution of a former police officer for depriving a man of his Fourth Amendment rights by use of a unreasonable force during the man's arrest in 2013, the district court did not err under Rule 404(b) in admitting evidence concerning the former officer's prior use of unreasonable force in 2009 as he put his state of mind and intent in issue, and the evidence was relevant on those issues; the 2009 incident was not so remote in time as to make it inadmissible; the evidence was sufficient for a reasonable jury to determine that the force used in the 2009 incident was excessive; the district court properly gave a limiting instruction concerning the 2009 incident and minimized any unfair prejudice which might otherwise have arisen; no error in admitting a video of the 2009 incident.
