Question

conspiracy is a crime separate from the crime the parties planned to commit.
○ a. true
○ b. false

Explanation:

In criminal law, conspiracy is defined as an agreement between two or more people to commit a crime (or to achieve a legal end through illegal means). Conspiracy itself is a distinct crime from the substantive crime that the conspirators planned to commit. For example, if two people conspire to commit theft (but haven't yet committed the theft), the conspiracy to commit theft is a separate offense from the theft itself (if it were to be committed). So the statement is true.

Answer:

a. True
