concurring specially.
Ordinarily, I believe the erroneous admission of prior convictions is prejudicial error. See State v. Eugene, 536 N.W.2d 692 (N.D.1995) (Levine, J., dissenting); State v. Bohe, 447 N.W.2d 277 (N.D.1989) (Levine, J., dissenting). I concur with the majority here only because Murchison raised an entrapment defense. When a defendant claims entrapment in a jurisdiction applying a subjective entrapment test, the government may rebut this defense with prior conviction evidence relevant to the defendant’s predisposition to commit the offense. See United States v. Bastanipour, 41 F.3d 1178 (7th Cir.1994); United States v. Simtob, 901 F.2d 799 (9th Cir.1990); United States v. Parrish, 736 F.2d 152 (5th Cir.1984); United States v. Salisbury, 662 F.2d 738 (11th Cir.1981); United States v. Apuzzo, 555 F.2d 306 (2d Cir.1977); United States v. Demetre, 464 F.2d 1105 (8th Cir.1972); see also Sorrells v. United States, 287 U.S. 435, 53 S.Ct. 210, 77 L.Ed. 413 (1932); Wayne R. LaFave & Jerold H. Israel, Criminal Procedure § 5.2 at 420 (1984).
