with whom SCHWELB, Associate Judge, joins, concurring:
I am pleased to join the opinion of Judge Reid and would add the following. The central issue in this case is whether proof of Ifelowo’s participation in two of the robberies tended to prove that he also participated in the third. I think it did. The three crimes exhibited the same mo-dus operandi — in each, two robbers drove up, confronted vulnerable pedestrians, robbed them and drove off. The two robbers drove the same car in all three incidents. The second robber was the same person (Shotikare) in all three incidents. And the three incidents occurred in the same general vicinity at about the same time of night, within a span of just nine days. A pattern emerges: same offense, same number of robbers, same method, same car, same accomplice, same area of the city, same time of day, in three crimes occurring one right after the other. Dissimilarities were minor; overall, the three incidents were strikingly similar and evidently related to each other. That is why, to my mind, the proof that Ifelowo was Shotikare’s confederate in two of these incidents logically made it more likely that Ifelowo was Shotikare’s confederate in the third.
