Do you think the prosecutors are charging the right person for the murder of Stephanie Crowe?Yes No

Tuite (pictured, left) is accused of stabbing 12-year-old Stephanie Crowe to death in her Escondido home in January 1998.

Prosecutors will argue that jurors should be told about more than 20 instances in which Tuite confronted women, or tried to enter homes in the Crowe's neighborhood around the time of the Stephanie's murder.

Although residents called 911 to report a prowler the night of the murder, Tuite (pictured, left) was not charged in any those cases.

Defense attorneys said that Tuite was simply trying to find a friend, according to 10News.

The defense said that those reports shed no light on the question of whether Tuite killed Stephanie.

Tuite's defense plans to argue that Stephanie's brother and two of his teenage classmates killed the girl.

Michael Crowe, Joshua Treadway and Aaron Houser were originally charged in the case but have since filed suit against the police and prosecutors for false arrest, 10News reported.

The judge is expected to rule this week on what evidence will be permitted at the trial.
