Tried below before the Hon. L. D. Guinn. Appeal from a conviction of seduction; penalty, five years imprisonment in the penitentiary. The charge of the court on accomplice testimony was as follows: A conviction can not be had upon the evidence of an accomplice alone, unless such an accomplice is corroborated by other evidence.
Decided 1916-10-11
DAVIDSON, Judge.
¶1
Appellant was convicted of seduction, his punishment being assessed at five years confinement in the penitentiary.
¶2
We are of opinion, without stating the evidence, that under the decisions the evidence justified the action of the jury and the trial court in his rulings in regard to the sufficiency of the facts. The court gave a charge in the usual stereotyped form with reference to accomplice testimony. There are quite a lot of cases which sustain the court’s charge as being correct and have been heretofore discussed. The writer has not always agreed with the majority opinion, but under those cases this charge is not error.
