California Court of Appeal

An accomplice and an in-custody informant may corroborate each other, where: 1) California Penal Code section 1111 provides that a conviction cannot be had upon the testimony of an accomplice unless it be corroborated; 2) one accomplice may not corroborate another; and 3) section 1111.5 should not be read to preclude an accomplice from corroborating an in-custody informant's testimony, as the Legislature did not intend to create such a prohibition.
