is an element of the crime. The corroborating evidence need not by itself establish every element of the crime, but it must, without aid from the accomplice's testimony, tend to connect the defendant with the crime." ' [Citation.] 'The evidence is "sufficient if it tends to connect the defendant with the crime in such a way as to satisfy the jury that the accomplice is telling the truth." ' (People v. Gonzales and Soliz (2011) 52 Cal.4th 254, 303.)" (People v. Williams (2013) 56 Cal.4th 630, 679.)
