The present study was conducted to investigate whether the defendant's character evidence affects fact-finding and evidence judgments. The results showed that manipulating the defendant's character evidence differently affected the initial judgment. The conditions under which the defendant's negative character evidence was presented were judged to have a higher probability of guilt against the defendant than the conditions under which the positive character evidence was presented, and the frequency of the conviction was higher. The ruling, which was formed by character evidence of the defendant also affected the prosecution and the defense's claims based on each issue. It can be seen that the judgment of the defendant induced by the character evidence of the defendant is maintained not only in the judgment of evidence but also in the final judgment. Therefore, it is necessary to come up with a legal system rule out this bias for a fair trial.
