Corroboration denotes independent evidence that confirms, supports or strengthens other evidence and must be materially relevant to the charge; it need not be direct proof of the accused's act nor duplicate the witness's entire account, and may be circumstantial or relate to material particulars rather than the specific incident spoken to by a suspect witness.
