The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“[Cjorroboration need not be of sufficient weight to establish a prima facie case for conviction. Circumstantial evidence which clearly supports defendant’s implication in the crime may be enough. The defendant’s presence in the vicinity of the offense, in company with accomplices and under suspicious circumstances, will constitute adequate corroboration.”
