Evidence Question - CA - Evidence - Character of the Victim

Does the introduction of the character of the victim in a criminal case 'open the door' to the prosecution and allow character evidence of the defendant?

Yes, it does. The first reply to your question is incorrect. The Prosecution may now offer evidence of the V's peaceful nature OR the D's violent nature.
