What evidence supports the credibility of a witness's account of the events that led to a stabbing?

¹¹ In People v. Miranda (1987) 44 Cal.3d 57, 100, 241 Cal.Rptr. 594, 744 P.2d 1127, this court stated a witness's description of the events that led to a stabbing closely matched the accomplice's version of events, and this evidence was enough to connect defendant with the killing and therefore to support the credibility of the accomplice. In Miranda, however, in addition to the similarity in detail between the witness's and the accomplice's accounts, the witness observed the defendant hold a knife to the victim's throat and then follow the victim down the street. (Id. at p. 93, 241 Cal.Rptr. 594, 744 P.2d 1127.) Such evidence independently linked the defendant to the stabbing.
