Evidence, Criminal Practice
The court considered the circumstances under which an accused could call in aid the convictions of a co-defendant: Held: It was fundamental that it is not normally relevant to enquire into a defendant's previous character or to ask questions which tend to show that he has previously committed some criminal offence. A defendant is always entitled to call evidence of his own good character or other evidence 'in disproof of his own guilt' of the offence charged against him. The test is whether the evidence is relevant or not to the question of guilt. The evidence was relevant 'if it tended to show that the version of the facts put forward by one co-accused was more probable than that put forward by the other' When there is more than one defendant, the test of relevance must be applied strictly to avoid prejudice to a co-defendant.
