In many trials, the question comes up as to when and how to introduce “character evidence,” which is to say evidence that this or that person is a good (or bad) citizen. A South Georgia farmer accused of letting his cows wander on his neighbors land (contributing to a tractor-cow vehicular accident) came up with a new kind of “character evidence.” He tried to introduce evidence of the wanderlust character of cows.
The judge would have none of it. Even in South Georgia.
