Criminal Law ? Grand Larceny ? Accomplices ? Corroboration ? Rule ? Evidence ? Sufficiency. Criminal Law ? Accomplices ? Evidence ? Corroboration ? Rule. 1. The corroborating evidence without which a defendant cannot be convicted on the testimony of an accomplice, under section 11988, Revised Codes of 1921, may be supplied by the defendant or his witnesses; may be circumstantial; need not extend to every fact to which the accomplice testifies; need not be sufficient to justify a conviction or to establish a prima facie case of guilt, or to connect the defendant with the commission of the crime, it being sufficient if it tends to do so, and whether it tends to do so is a question of law, the weight of the evidence ? its efficacy to fortify the testimony of the accomplice and render his story trustworthy ? being a matter for the consideration of the jury. Same ? Grand Larceny ? Accomplices ? Corroborating Testimony Held Sufficient. 2. Evidence in a prosecution for the larceny of horses, corroborative of the testimony of two accomplices, examined and held sufficient as tending to connect defendant with the commission of the offense, and therefore sufficient to sustain his conviction under section 11988 above. - Page 90
