What is conspiracy?
Let’s start with the absolute basics. Many people have no idea what conspiracy means, so don’t worry if you don’t know either.
At its most basic level, a conspiracy begins as a plan to commit a crime with one or more other people. When one or more of the people begins to prepare to commit this crime, or actually commits it, the plan becomes a conspiracy. Even if just one person commits the crime, all of the people involved in the planning stages of the crime can be prosecuted for conspiracy.
For example, say three people make a plan to rob a bank. One person buys some masks to hide their faces during the robbery, another person stays in the getaway car to help the other two make a run for it after they have the money, and one person carries the gun to threaten the tellers during the actual robbery. All three people will be charged with conspiracy in addition to other applicable charges.
Conspiracy considerations
If you’re facing a conspiracy charge, you should be worried. Sometimes conspiracy is charged as a felony, at other times it’s a misdemeanor, but no matter what, you definitely don’t want a conspiracy conviction on your record. Conspiracy charges can make criminal sentences even more severe than they would be otherwise.
A serious conspiracy charge for a serious crime
Penalties for conspiracy vary depending on the crime that was planned to be committed by the conspirators. For example, conspiracy to commit murder would be charged as a felony because murder is a felony. The conspiracy charge would carry with it all the same penalties as an actual murder charge. So if you conspire to commit murder and actually commit it, you could be facing incredibly severe penalties if you are convicted of both crimes.
