MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Estrada, 733 F.2d 683 (9th Cir. 1984):
The affidavit also satisfies the "credibility" and "reliability" prong of the Aguilar-Spinelli test. "A detailed eye-witness report of a crime is self-corroborating; it supplies its own indicia of reliability." United States v. Banks, 539 F.2d 14, 17 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 429 U.S. 1024, 97 S.Ct. 644, 50 L.Ed.2d 626 (1976).
