Analysis
No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.
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.
Rehearing denied.
