Failure to charge corroboration in the context of a perjury prosecution to a grand jury has been held to be a substantive denial of due process. People v. Mackey, 82 Misc.2d 766, 770, 371 N.Y.S.2d 559. Further, the failure to provide the requisite corroboration by the grand jury constitutes insufficiency as a matter of law. People v.
