Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘* * * Our case law interpreting this statute provides, among other things, that evidence which in only a “slight” degree tends to implicate the defendant is sufficient to corroborate an accomplice’s testimony, State v. Miller, 71 Ariz. 140 , 224 P.2d 205 ; that the corroborating evidence need not be sufficient to establish the defendant’s guilt, State v. Goldthorpe, 96 Ariz. 350 , 395 P.2d 708 ; that the evidence need not directly connect the defendant with the offense but need only tend to do so, State v. Sheldon, 91 Ariz. 73 , 369 P.2d 917 ; that the necessary corroboration may be established by circumstantial evidence, State v. Bagby, 83 Ariz. 83 , 316 P.2d 941 ; and that, “[i]n the last analysis. * * * the facts of each case must govern.” State v. Sheldon, supra, 91 Ariz. at p. 79 , 369 P.2d at p. 922 .’ ” 439 P.2d 833 .”

Newman““A conviction shall not be had on the testimony of an accomplice unless the accomplice is corroborated by other evidence which, in itself and without aid of the testimony of the accomplice, tends to connect the defendant with the commission of the offense. The corroboration is not sufficient if it merely shows the commission of the offense or the circumstances thereof.””
