Date: 2011-11-21 10:29 am (UTC)There are bound to be cases where one piece of evidence is in fact going to be sufficient but even CCTV with a clear view of someone’s face can be faked. The standard for corroboration is pretty low but I’d like some second piece of evidence so that there isn’t a single point of failure in the system.
The point of corroboration is to make it harder for the state or for a conspiracy of witnesses to gain a conviction by presenting false evidence.
