Cap. 9 Art. 639When a single witness is not sufficient.

(1) Notwithstanding the provisions of the last preceding article, a person may not be convicted of calumnious accusation, perjury or false swearing, solely upon the evidence of one witness contradicting the fact previously stated on oath by the person charged or accused; but such person charged or accused may be convicted on the evidence of a single witness, when such evidence is corroborated in some circumstance which is material to establish the alleged crime by any other proof duly adduced.

(2) Nor may a person be convicted of a crime against the safety of the Government, other than a crime under article 55, solely upon the evidence of one witness; but in such case it shall be sufficient if one witness proves one fact and another witness proves another fact, both such facts being material to establish the crime.

(3) Where the only witness against the accused for any offence in any trial by jury is an accomplice, the Court shall give a direction to the jury to approach the evidence of the witness with caution before relying on it in order to convict the accused.
