United States v. Wiley
United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia
492 F.2d 547 (1974)
Relevant factsFree
Wiley (defendant) was convicted of rape and appealed, arguing there was insufficient independent evidence corroborating the victim's account of the crime to satisfy the jurisdiction's corroboration requirement for rape convictions.
IssueFree
Whether the corroboration rule in rape cases is satisfied only when independent evidence would let a jury conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that the victim's account was not a fabrication.
