OPINION

ANNE GARDNER, Justice.

I. Introduction

Reza Vafaiyan appeals his conviction and life sentence for money laundering. In his five points, Vafaiyan argues that the trial court erred by failing to grant his motion to suppress, that the nonaccomplice testimony insufficiently corroborated the accomplice witness testimony, and that the trial court erred by omitting three witnesses from the accomplice witness jury instruction. Vafaiyan also argues that the evidence was legally and factually insufficient to support his conviction. We affirm.
