Huddleston v. United States 485 U.S. 681 (1988) was a case in which the United States Supreme Court removed a procedural obstacle to admitting evidence of a witness’s motive plan or knowledge that had been imposed by some courts of appeals after reading Rule 404(b) of the Federal Rules of Evidence. The court reaffirmed that there are adequate other mechanisms present in the Rules to ensure that overly prejudicial evidence does not reach the jury.
