Syllabus

<p>Criminad Law and Procedure. Murder. Good character of defendant. Instruction touching.</p> <p>Evidence of a defendant’s good character should go to the jury like evidence of any other fact, and should be left to the jury without intimation from the court touching its value; and it is not error to refuse a requested instruction to the effect that proof of defendant’s good character may be sufficient of itself to create a reasonable doubt of his guilt. Coleman, v. State, 59 Miss. 484, approved: Lewis v. State, 93 Miss. 697, overruled.</p>
