You,
the jury, should consider all of the relevant testimony, including that
relating to the defendant's good character or reputation, and if, on such
consideration, there exists a reasonable doubt of his/her guilt, even though that doubt may arise merely from his/her previous good repute, he/she is entitled
to an acquittal; but if, from the entire evidence in this case, including that
relating to good character, you believe the defendant guilty beyond a
reasonable doubt, he/she should be
convicted and the evidence of good character should not alter the verdict.
