Linking a old record to a current case could conceavably be prejudical to the attempt to exonerate a person especially in a case that is irregular or unrelated. In a real effort to present justice the intention of the court should be to present evidence that the person on trial is eligable and fit to stand trial, and contrary entrees could promote that the individual is unfit to stand trial by a jury. In these cases some rendering of penalty that substancially harms the intent of justice might happen in the course of the proceedings.
