provides that if evidence is deemed inadmissible for a prohibited purpose (as "tendency" or "coincidence"), even if it is relevant for another purpose (and so may be admissible) it must not be used for a prohibited purpose. For example, evidence that may not be subject to the tendency rule includes evidence that may be relevant to a fact in issue, where the relevance is not dependent on the drawing of an inference of tendency from the evidence. For example, evidence of prior conduct revealing a motive for the crime charged or evidence relevant to a person's state of mind. If such evidence is admitted, it cannot then be used for a tendency purpose.
