Is the testimony of an accomplice sufficient to convict a defendant?

The situation here is no different from a proceeding before the committing magistrate where the People, to prove the [143 Cal.App.2d 103] commission of the crime and the defendant's connection therewith, produce only the testimony of an accomplice. In such a case the evidence of the accomplice is insufficient to support a conviction. Yet it has been uniformly held that the testimony of an accomplice before the committing magistrate is sufficient to support an information based thereon. People v. McRae, 31 Cal.2d 184, 187 P.2d 741; In re Schwitalla, 36 Cal.App. 511, 172 P. 617.
