The document is a legal motion filed in a circuit court, requesting the exclusion of evidence related to the plaintiff's prior convictions and bad acts during a trial. The motion argues that introducing such evidence would violate the defendant's constitutional rights under various amendments and that the prosecution has not met its burden of proving the validity of these prior convictions. It emphasizes the prejudicial nature of using unconstitutional prior convictions in a capital case and outlines several legal precedents supporting the request for an evidentiary hearing to bar this evidence.

We can define motion as the change of position of an object with respect to time. A book falling off a table, water flowing from the tap, rattling windows, etc., all exhibit motion. Even the air that we breathe exhibits motion! Everything in the universe moves.

What motions can be made prior to trial?
