In People v. Valardi (1966) 240 Cal. App. 2d 98, the sole evidence implicating defendant was a hearsay statement from the accomplice's wife that her husband told her he, defendant and two others committed the crime. This evidence was insufficient to connect defendant to the crime. An accomplice's testimony is no better coming from another's mouth than coming from his own. If it were, the accomplice could broadcast his testimony to the world before trial and then call anyone who heard it to corroborate it in court. (Ibid.)
