State v. May, 339 So.2d 764, 775 (La.1976)." State v. Addison, 00-1730, p. 8 (La.App 5 Cir. 5/16/01), 788 So.2d 608, 614 . The footnote to this passage elaborates: See also: State v. Howard, 98-0064 (La.4/23/99), 751 So.2d 783, 801 , quoting State v. Schaffner, 398 So.2d 1032, 1035 (La.1981), where it was held that when the state's case turns upon the uncorroborated testimony of an accomplice, the trial judge should instruct the jury to treat such testimony with great caution. However, when the accomplice's testimony is corroborated by other evidence, such language is not required.”
