Re: criminal law question
Conspiracy is a separate offense from the rest of the charges one might be charged with. You do not actually have to go ahead with a planned offense to be convicted of conspiracy to commit that offense. As long as you made affirmative act towards the forwarding that conspiracy, such as developing a plan of how to sell controlled substance, you are on the hook. It seems that this situation is serious. Please contact our office for a more detailed consultation. Best of luck.
