1Opinion of the Court
THIBODEAUX, Chief Judge.
Defendant Stoney J. LaPoint was charged by bill of information with one count of aggravated incest in violation of La.R.S. 14:78.1. A jury found him guilty of the responsive verdict of attempted indecent behavior with juveniles in violation of La.R.S. 14:27 and La.R.S. 14.81. The jury found the victim to be under the age of thirteen at the time of the offense, and LaPoint was sentenced to the maximum sentence of twelve and one-half years at hard labor.
LaPoint now appeals his conviction, arguing that the trial court erred in admitting prejudicial “other crimes”…
