Best Answer

It depends on the judge ruling that it is admissable. A good defense attorney will probably object and say that past convictions have no bearing on the present offense. The prosecution will argue that the previous conviction demonstrates a pre-disposition to committing the offense - especially - if the old offense is the same or similar to the recent one.
