Description
Appellant raises two grounds of error. First, he complains of the trial court permitting the District Attorney on cross examination to impeach one of his character witnesses with the question, "Have you heard that Dennis Beck was charged and tried of assault with intent to murder?" To which the witness answered, "Yes". Appellant contends that the question was asked in bad faith because (1) the prosecutor was aware of the fact that the appellant had been acquitted of the offense inquired about, and (2) that of eight character witnesses called by appellant, the question was asked of only one of them. The character witness of whom the question was asked had testified that appellants general reputation in the community for being a peaceful and law abiding citizen was good.
