- Description
- This article starts explaining the nature and goals prohibiting the use of character against the defendant. Part I and II describe how rape shield laws provided similar protections to complainants in sex crimes. Part III describes section 1108, which explicitly allows character evidence against a defendant in almost every sex-related crime. Part IV points out how the new law is a step backwards in protecting women. It emphasizes the risk that the statute will cause innocent people to be convicted. Finally, it demonstrates how section 1108 violates the constitutional principles of fundamental fairness and reciprocity which may weaken the rape shield laws we now take for granted.
