question

At trial in a criminal prosecution for theft, the defendant calls a witness to testify that he formerly knew the defendant as an army supply sergeant and that the defendant had turned down many opportunities for black marketeering. Is the witness's testimony admissible?

choices

  2. No, because the defendant may not prove his good character by specific instances of good conduct.
  3. Yes, because a criminal defendant may prove his good character as a basis for inferring conduct.
  4. Yes, because, by accusing the defendant of being a thief, the prosecution has put his character in issue.
