So much for the detractors of video.

Yep, I know that, when I was in the scouts. My patrol leader's brother was on vacation in Canada with a friend of his. They were walking down a street and a group of bullies approached them. They looked my patrol leader's brother up and down and went for his friend. His brother was a football player, which is why they went for his smaller friend.
Which was a big mistake. He was a black belt. Let's just say that the end result was much different than what the bullies thought was going to happen.

Reminds me of a guy I used to know, who was at least in his mid-70s. He was an old guy who walked with a slight stoop, had a permanent bandage on one forearm which related to some historical injury. He looked like a pretty soft target, the kind of guy a mugger would target. Only he was a 4th dan black belt, a karate instructor and grading examiner. I can just picture muggers choosing a soft target and waking up in hospital three days later wondering what happened.
"Priceless."

Prior bad acts are not admissible to show action in conformity with the prior bad acts. (I.e., you can't introduce evidence of a prior robbery to suggest that, because the defendant committed that robbery, he also committed this robbery).
Prior bad acts *are* admissible for the purpose of impeaching the credibility of a witness. (I.e, you can introduce evidence of a prior robbery to show that the defendant's testimony should not be believed because he is a criminal).
So the evidence gets in but the jury is instructed that they can only consider this evidence as it relates to credibility.

The verdict surprised me, as I live in Lexington County. I guess the fact they couldn't introduce the history of the cyclist pulling a gun on a vehicle in another state (and convicted for such) or his other road rage incidents as evidence made this conviction much easier. I guess that's why I'm not a lawyer.
