[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 886394, member: 45598"] Character evidence is rarely used, passed convictions of the defence can't be brought up until sentencing for example apart from a few exceptions. If the defence make claims against the alleged victim's character they allow the prosecution to question the defence's character. It probably should be looked at however especially in a rape case where past promiscuity will sway a jury and is not evidence to the case the vast majority of times. [/QUOTE]
