Protective Orders, Assault Conviction Excluded

Therrien v. Target Corporation, 2010 WL 3095233 (8/9/10) (Okl) (Published) - It may be of some use in combating the admission of prior bad act evidence that in this case the 10th affirmed the exclusion of evidence of protective orders issued against the plaintiff and one conviction for misdemeanor assault. Target wanted to introduce the evidence to show the plaintiff acted unreasonably when he intervened to help Target security detain a shoplifter.
