Reyes v. Standard Mortgage Co.

How later courts describe this case

• requiring less than a reasonable doubt but “more than mere suspicion”
• evidence sufficient to sustain first degree murder conviction; three-year-old son of defendant's girlfriend died from massive head injuries and had numerous other injuries
• “[T]here must be sufficient evidence at trial to support a finding by the jury that the accused committed the similar act for it to be admissible under F.R.Evid. 404(b).”
• premeditated murder and murder in perpetration of robbery
