The People of the State of New York v. Stephen Moses

Summary

The Court of Appeals held that a defendant's false alibi, standing alone, does not satisfy the statutory corroboration requirement for accomplice testimony under CPL 60.22, and therefore reversed the Appellate Division and reinstated the trial court's dismissal of the indictment. Justice Jasen dissented, arguing that the majority abandons the traditional narrow application of the accomplice corroboration rule.
