La raison de politique générale justifiant l'exclusion de la preuve de propension ou de prédisposition est la suivante : bien que, dans certains cas, elle puisse être pertinente, la propension inférée de faits similaires peut aussi retenir indûment l'attention du juge des faits. Elle risque sérieusement de causer un préjudice, de détourner l'attention du jury et d'entraîner un délai excessif, et ces inconvénients l'emportent presque toujours sur sa valeur probante. En général, la propension de l'accusé ne devrait pas faire partie de la preuve qui pèse contre lui.  1, record 2, French, - preuve%20de%20propension
