State v. Mills

BROCK, Judge.

Defendant assigns as error the admission into evidence of a typewritten statement signed by accomplice. This statement was admitted to corroborate accomplice’s testimony after a proper instruction to the jury. Defendant argues that the cumulative effect of the admission of this statement, allowed in addition to the corroborating testimony of two witnesses, was prejudicial. This evidence was properly admitted for the purpose of strengthening the witness’s credibility by showing prior consistent statements. Stansbury, N. C. Evidence, §§ 51, 52. This assignment of error is overruled.
