I concur, but wish to guard my concurrence against holding that the defendant’s general bad character after the offense can ever be inquired into for any purpose. His character for truth and veracity may be shown, up to the time of the trial; but the evidence must be limited to that sole purpose, and this cannot be done by showing his general bad character, after the offense, though the general bad character, as a rule, tends to impeach, or go to the credibility of a witness.
