Character witnesses

Character witnesses are individuals who testify about someone’s character, reputation, or behavior in a legal setting, often during trials or sentencing. Their purpose is to provide insight into the person's moral standing, showing that they are a good citizen or have positive traits. This can influence a judge's or jury's perception and decisions regarding the case. Character witnesses can be friends, family members, or colleagues who know the individual well and can speak to their integrity, trustworthiness, and overall character, which can be crucial in cases involving criminal charges or other serious legal matters.
