1DissentAndrews, Judge

The sole enumeration of error in both appeals is that the court erred in not directing a verdict of acquittal1 because the accomplice’s testimony was uncorroborated. I respectfully dissent because I do not believe OCGA § 24-4-8 applies to juvenile cases.

OCGA § 24-4-8 provides that “[t]he testimony of a single witness is generally sufficient to establish a fact. However, in certain cases, including . . . felony cases where the only witness is an accomplice, *82the testimony of a single witness is not sufficient.”
