Description

CRIMINAL LAW ? BURGLARY ? EVIDENCE. 1. Criminal Law ? Corroborating evidence. Corroborating evidence need not be direct but may be circumstantial, and it need not be sufficient to justify a conviction or to establish a prima facie case of guilt, and it need not be sufficient to connect the defendant with the commission of the crime, and it is sufficient if it tends to do so. 2. Burglary ? Fact of entry. To support a conviction of two persons for burglary, it is not essential that the entry shall be by both, but if one of them entered and was aided by the other in so doing, both are guilty, and burglary may be committed by being present and aiding another in entry. - Page 228 3.
