The following excerpt is from People v. Martinez, 132 Cal.App.3d 119, 183 Cal.Rptr. 256 (Cal. App. 1982):
Accordingly, the early California cases, without exception, and in conformity with this express legislative provision, held that corroborating evidence, to be sufficient, must tend to connect the defendant to the crime without the aid of the testimony of the accomplice. (See, e.g., People v. Morton, 139 Cal. 719, 727, 73 P. 609.)
