SABERS, Justice
(specially concurring).
I concur because I believe the evidence was sufficient, though barely, to corroborate the self-serving testimony of the self-proclaimed “accomplice.” The questions were properly presented to the jury by adequate instructions, and the jury resolved the questions against defendant. Compare with the situations presented in State v. Bradley, 431 N.W.2d 317, 325 (S.D.1988); State v. Rufener, 401 N.W.2d 740, 746 (S.D.1987); State v. Byrum, 399 N.W.2d 334, 338 (S.D.1987); State v. Laib, 397 N.W.2d 658, 660 (S.D.1986).
