The article discusses the doctrine of chances and its role in the analysis of whether prior acts evidence is admissible under the Colorado Rule of Evidence (CRE) 404(b), focusing on the decision of the Colorado Supreme Court in the case of People v. Jones. It explores the opinion of the Supreme Court on the case and the potential consequences of the decision of the court holding that trial courts no longer have to consider the doctrine of chances as part of the Spoto analysis.
