Va. Model Jury Instr. Crim. No. 3.400
Testimony of Accomplice
(Name of person) has testified that he was an accomplice in the commission of the crime charged
in the indictment. While you may find your verdict upon his uncorroborated testimony, you should
consider such testimony with great care and you are cautioned as to the danger of convicting the
defendant upon the uncorroborated testimony of an accomplice. Nevertheless, if you are satisfied
from the evidence of the guilt of the defendant beyond a reasonable doubt, the defendant may be
convicted upon the uncorroborated evidence of an accomplice.
