In People v. Morhouse (21 N.Y.2d 66), the defendant was charged with "aiding and abetting" a Mr. Berger in bribing a Mr. Epstein. The only testimony of the bribe was that of Mr. Berger. On appeal, the defendant claimed that since the only evidence of the bribe was the testimony of an accomplice and that accomplice testimony was required by law to be corroborated and it was not, the Court should reverse the conviction. The Court of Appeals held that since defense counsel's opening, summation and cross-examination conceded that a bribe had occurred, but claimed that the defendant was not involved with the bribery, this concession "relieved the prosecution of any obligation of presenting further evidence on the question on the trial" (75).
