§ 343.2. Rules of evidence; corroboration of accomplice testimony. 1.\nA respondent may not be found to be delinquent upon the testimony of an\naccomplice unsupported by corroborative evidence tending to connect the\nrespondent with the commission of the crime or crimes charged in the\npetition.\n 2. An "accomplice" means a witness in a juvenile delinquency\nproceeding who, according to evidence adduced in such proceeding, may\nreasonably be considered to have participated in:\n (a) the crime charged; or\n (b) a crime based on the same or some of the same facts or conduct\nwhich constitutes the crime charged in the petition.\n 3. A witness who is an accomplice as defined in subdivision two is no\nless such because a proceeding, conviction or finding of delinquency\nagainst him would be barred or precluded by some defense or exemption\nsuch as infancy, immunity or previous prosecution amounting to a\ncollateral impediment to such proceeding, conviction or finding, not\naffecting the conclusion that such witness engaged in the conduct\nconstituting the crime with the mental state required for the commission\nthereof.\n
