What is sufficient corroborating evidence to sustain the conviction of a convicted burglar for running and hiding from the police?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Rodriguez, B279557 (Cal. App. 2017):

running and hiding from the police. That was sufficient corroborating evidence to sustain the conviction. (See Mendoza, supra, 24 Cal.4th at p. 176 [evidence that the defendant possessed property taken from businesses in Chinatown the same morning as the burglaries along with the defendant's statement that he had " 'been to Chinatown' " to explain where he obtained the property was sufficient to deny a motion for acquittal]; People v. Smithey (1999) 20 Cal.4th 936, 982-983 [flight alone is not sufficient to establish guilt, but may be considered as evidence of consciousness of guilt].)
