Présentation de l'éditeur
This little Tract was written many years ago. It was occasioned by the appearance of an anonymous work on die same subject, in which the author lays down what he asserts to be the established practice; or rather, as he calls it, the fixed rule of evidence, as to the testimony of an accomplice, and the corroboration which it ought to receive, before the judge can permit it to go to the jury. The principles which the author maintains appears to me to be erroneous; and not supported by the cases which he cites. The cases appear to have been inaccurately stated; the decisions of the judges garbled and incorrectly given; whilst the authors deductions are inconsequent, and his arguments often contradictory. His work, however, being the only one exclusively on the subject, it circulated among the profession; and as few take the trouble of investigating subjects on which others have bestowed their time and attention, the opinions of the author of that work appeared to gain ground. It was to correct those believed-to-be erroneous opinions that the present work was undertaken. As it was conceived that in England the practice with respect to the admission of the testimony of accomplices was well understood, and uniformly followed, and that it was in I reland alone that any uncertainty as to the rule, or diversity of opinion prevailed, this work was intended merely for the latter country; and the object of its author it was thought would be sufficiently attained by submitting the manuscript to the perusal of the then judges, and the heads of the profession; and this having been done, the work was thrown aside as having performed its office. It may be asked, why then is it now brought before the public V9 To that I answer, that from two cases lately decided on Circuit in England, the law upon this subject appears to be set afloat in that country.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex subject of accomplice testimony in criminal trials. By examining historical cases, the author challenges the notion that corroboration of an accomplice's narrative is always necessary for a conviction. Drawing upon legal precedents, the author argues that the credibility of accomplice testimony should be left to the jury's discretion, with corroboration serving as one factor among many to consider. The author contends that a blanket rule requiring corroboration can lead to injustices, particularly when it comes to convicting multiple defendants. This examination of the historical evolution of accomplice testimony provides valuable insights into the delicate balance between protecting the innocent and ensuring the proper administration of justice. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
