EVIDENCE OF REPUTATION FOR HONESTY

activein force · 2026-08-19 – presentas-observed

The defendant has offered evidence in the form of reputation

for honesty and integrity. You should consider such evidence along

with all the other evidence in the case.

Evidence in the form of reputation for honesty and integrity

may be sufficient to raise a reasonable doubt whether the

defendant is guilty, because you may think it improbable that a

person of honesty and integrity would commit such a crime.

Evidence in the form of reputation of a defendant’s honesty and

integrity may be inconsistent with those traits of character

ordinarily involved in the commission of the crime charged and

may give rise to a reasonable doubt.

You should also consider any evidence offered to rebut the

evidence offered by the defendant.

You will always bear in mind, however, that the law never

imposes upon a defendant in a criminal case the burden or duty of

calling any witnesses or producing any evidence.
