Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Quiring, 1974 CanLII 974 (SK CA):
Evidence, to be capable of being corroborative as that term is used relative to the evidence of an accomplice, must be evidence independent of an accomplice, and it must tend to show that the accused committed the crime; or, in other words, it must be legal evidence other than that given by the accomplice which tends to implicate the accused: see Hubin v. The King, supra; and MacDonald v. The King, supra.
