Defendant assigns as error, inter alia, the trial court's denial of his motion in limine to exclude evidence of other charges or investigation involving offenses other than these on trial and allowing testimony relating to offenses for which he was not on trial. For the reasons set forth below, we hold that the court's rulings with respect to this motion were erroneous and that defendant is entitled to a new trial.
