The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“There can be no doubt of the.right of appellant to put in evidence his good character and it was “for the jury to consider it in connection with the other evidence, and determine what force and effect it should have.” State v. Barth, 25 S.C. 175 , 60 Am.Rep. 496 (1886). The good reputation of the accused, if proved, may be taken into consideration by the jury in determining whether or not he committed the crime charged. State v. Hill, 129 S.C. 166 , 123 S.E. 817 (1924).”
