We will, therefore, examine the rules of evidence which govern and the assessment of the evidence presented in this case. Section 90.402, Florida Statutes (2005), a provision within the Florida Evidence Code, provides that all relevant evidence is admissible except as provided by law....

...We begin our analysis with the well-settled rule that relevant evidence is evidence which tends "to prove or disprove a material fact," § 90.401, Fla. Stat. (1995), and all relevant evidence is generally admissible unless the law provides otherwise. Id. § 90.402....

...In Williams v. State, 110 So.2d 654 (Fla. 1959), this Court reiterated the standard rule for admission of evidence; that is, that any evidence relevant to prove a material fact at issue is admissible unless precluded by a specific rule of exclusion. See § 90.402, Fla....

...State, 533 So.2d 744 (Fla.1988), we made it clear that the admissibility of other crimes evidence is not limited to crimes with similar facts.

...Thus, section 90.404 is a special limitation governing the admissibility of similar fact evidence. But if evidence of a defendant's collateral bad acts bears no logical resemblance to the crime for which the defendant is being tried, then section 90.404(2)(a) does not apply and the general rule in section 90.402 controls....

Based upon our review of the record, we find this evidence of sexual battery was relevant as an inseparable part of the criminal episode at issue and not unduly prejudicial. See § 90.402, Fla....

...Although a party's own statement, offered against the party, can satisfy the admissions exception to the prohibition against hearsay, it is still subject to the general requirement that only relevant evidence may be admitted. See § 90.803(18)(a), Fla. Stat. (1995); § 90.402, Fla....

...We conclude that the testimony was relevant and did not violate section 90.403, Florida Statutes (2008). Relevant evidence is defined in section 90.401, Florida Statutes (2008), as "evidence tending to prove or disprove a material fact." Further, "[a]ll relevant evidence is admissible, except as provided by law." § 90.402, Fla....

...There are two categories under which evidence of uncharged crimes or bad acts will be admissible—similar fact evidence, otherwise known as Williams rule evidence, and dissimilar fact evidence. The requirements and limitations of section 90.404 govern similar fact evidence while the general rule of relevancy set forth in section 90.402 governs dissimilar fact evidence....

...(Citations omitted.) The collateral crime evidence that McCRAY was a drug dealer who was arrested in a drug raid at the murder site was not similar fact evidence, and consequently, McCRAY's claim does not constitute a true Williams rule claim. As explained below, the general rule of relevancy under section 90.402, Florida Statutes (2008), applies, and the evidence at issue was relevant to establish McCRAY's motive for the charged crimes....

...In addition to Wigmore's logical argument, it seems that both the language of Section 90.404(2)(a) and of Williams indicates that the rule applies to evidence of discrete acts other than the actions of the defendant committing the instant crime charged. Under this view, inseparable crime evidence is admissible under Section 90.402 because it is relevant rather than being admitted under 90.402(2)(a)....

...on 322.16. This interpretation is incorrect. The language in deJesus that a violation of a traffic regulation is evidence of negligence was not meant to be an exception to the general rule that for evidence to be admissible, it must be relevant. See § 90.402, Fla....

The State counters that evidence of Sexton's collateral bad acts was not proffered and admitted as similar fact evidence under section 90.404(2)(a), but rather as "dissimilar fact" evidence under section 90.402, which simply states that all relevant evidence is admissible except as provided by law....

...of the charged offense. This court concluded that the evidence was properly admitted as collateral crimes evidence under two distinct theories: (1) that the uncharged hand-to-hand transactions were properly admitted as relevant evidence pursuant to section 90.402 because they were committed in a single criminal episode; and (2) that they were properly admitted as relevant evidence pursuant to section 90.402 because the evidence was inextricably intertwined with the crime charged. Under either theory, since the evidence was admitted as relevant evidence pursuant to section *1212 90.402, rather than as "other criminal offenses" pursuant to section 90.404, the ten-day notice requirement did not apply....

...Our failure to recede from the portion of D.M. under review, however, is of no importance since we conclude that the complained-of evidence in the instant case was properly admitted as (1) relevant evidence that was inextricably intertwined pursuant to section 90.402, and/or (2) evidence relevant to a material issue at trial.

THE EVIDENCE WAS PROPERLY ADMITTED AS COLLATERAL CRIMES EVIDENCE We conclude that evidence of the prior uncharged hand-to-hand transaction was properly admitted pursuant to section 90.402 as relevant evidence, evidence which was inextricably intertwined with the crime charged and offered to establish the entire context of events leading up to the charged offense, the reliability of Detective Fernandez's identification of the defendant as the seller, and to establish the absence of mistake....

...1994), the collateral crime evidence was relevant to rebut the defendant's claim of self defense in a homicide action. Miller, 667 So.2d at 328. In Damren v. State, 696 So.2d 709 (Fla.1997), the Florida Supreme Court also concluded that a theft committed by the defendant earlier that day was admissible under section 90.402 as it was relevant to whether the defendant was too intoxicated to form the requisite specific intent to commit the charged burglary. Id. at 711. As the evidence was offered to prove a material fact in dispute, and because it provided the trier of fact with a complete picture of the events in question, we conclude the evidence was properly introduced as relevant evidence under section 90.402, Florida Statutes (2003)....

We, therefore, clarify our holding in D.M. as limiting the admissibility of relevant evidence pursuant to section 90.402, based upon a section 90.403 analysis, which requires that the probative value of such evidence not be outweighed by its prejudicial effect....

...Thus, section 90.404 is a special limitation governing the admissibility of similar fact evidence. But if evidence of a defendant's collateral bad acts bears no logical resemblance to the crime for which the defendant is being tried, then section 90.404(2)(a) does not apply and the general rule in section 90.402 controls....

...Ehrhardt indicates the Fifth and Eleventh Circuits have adopted Wigmore's view that the reason for admitting such evidence is similar to that for admitting so-called "res gestae" evidence — it is necessary in order adequately to describe the deed. Ehrhardt says it is thus relevant and admissible under section 90.402, and does not fall under section 90.404(2)(a)....

...The state's position throughout was that the above cited section of the Evidence Code did not control the admissibility of the evidence in question. On the contrary, the evidence of the first three smuggling trips and the sale and distribution of the drugs was admissible under section 90.402 simply as relevant evidence....

...In addition to Wigmore's logical argument, it seems that both the language of Section 90.404(2)(a) and of Williams indicates that the rule applies to evidence of discrete acts other than the actions of the defendant committing the instant crime charged. Under this view, inseparable crime evidence is admissible under Section 90.402 because it is relevant rather than being admitted under 90.402(2)(a)....

See § 766.106(5), Fla. Stat. (1995). [12] Finally, a trial is, in its very essence, a search for truth. Section 90.402, Florida Statutes (1997), consistent with that search, provides: "All relevant evidence is *77 admissible, except as provided by law." It appears undisputed that the presuit affidavit here in issue was relevant since it was the foundation of the malpractice litigation....

...Under the Evidence Code, the rule is that evidence is relevant if it has any tendency to make the existence of any fact having consequence more or less probable than it would be without the evidence. See § 90.401, Fla. Stat. (2007) ("Relevant evidence is evidence tending to prove or disprove a material fact."). Section 90.402 provides that "[a]ll relevant evidence is admissible, except as provided by law. " [e.s.] Notice that the exception contained in the section 90.402 statutory rule of law does not say "except that the trial judge shall have discretion to decide otherwise." It says "except as provided by law." Nothing here suggests that the admission or exclusion of relevant evidence is discretionary....

...The evidence upon which the prosecutor focused was not Williams rule evidence. Indeed, the prosecutor never established a basis for using Mr. Denmark's juvenile offenses as Williams rule evidence. The challenged evidence was factually and temporally unrelated to the January 2001 offenses. Accordingly, the relevancy rule of section 90.402 governed the admissibility of the evidence elicited by the State. See Sexton v. State, 697 So.2d 833, 837 (Fla. 1997); Bryan v.

Without deciding the question of whether "inseparable crime evidence" is admissible under Section 90.402, which generally provides that relevant evidence is admissible, or under Section 90.404(2), which specifically provides for the admissibility of similar fact evidence to prove a material fact, we hold the collateral crime evidence at i...
