People v. Miller

Supreme Court of California
Feb 27, 1885
66 Cal. 468 (Cal. 1885)

Opinion

         Rehearing denied.

         Appeal from a judgment of the Superior Court of the city and county of San Francisco, and from an order denying a new trial.

         COUNSEL:

         Chas. B. Darwin, for Appellant.

          Attorney General Marshall, for Respondent.


         JUDGES: In Bank.

         OPINION

         THE COURT          In this case it is contended that the complaining witness, a boy thirteen years old, was an accomplice, whose testimony required corroboration; and as he was not corroborated, the conviction of the defendant was erroneous. But the uncontradicted testimony of the boy shows that he acted under the threats and coercion of the defendant. He was, therefore, not an accomplice; and as the evidence in the case was sufficient to sustain the verdict, the judgment and order must be affirmed. It is so ordered.
