Main article: Habit evidence
Habit evidence is a term used in the law of evidence in the United States
to describe any evidence submitted for the purpose of proving that a
person acted in a particular way on a particular occasion based on that
person's tendency to reflexively respond to a particular situation in a
particular way. Habit evidence differs from character evidence,
which seeks to show that a person behaved in a particular way on a
particular occasion based on things like that person's prior bad acts or
reputation in the community, and which is generally inadmissible.
