anchor: well and then in a lot of yeah in criminal cases uh for instance you can't bring up prior convictions unless they are somehow directly related to the case and it seems to me that a jury can make a much more rational decision if they know somebody had fifteen convictions for a similar crime
positive: In my opinion a jury would be able to make a more rational decision if they knew about related prior convictions.
negative: You can bring up prior convictions even though they are unrelated to the crime.
