accomplice

In law, a person who acts with another in the commission or attempted commission of a crime, either as a principal or as an accessory.

In English law, an accomplice may give evidence in court, that is, turn queen's evidence, but the jury must be warned of the danger of convicting on such evidence, unless it is corroborated by independent testimony.
