In its charge the court instructed the jury as follows: "Character testimony, gentlemen of the jury, is substantive testimony; that is, it is different than corroborative testimony. It is testimony that is direct from that person that testifies on the witness stand that a person has a good character and reputation, that is, direct to that point and that you should believe what that witness has testified to, whoever the witness might be."
