Thanks. But, body or not, the crime of conspiracy still took place. For example, if a man decides he wants to be out of his marriage and decided a hit man might be a better option to achieve his ends, his meeting with and talking to the hit man is a crime, even if the hit man doesn't go through with it or happens to be LE. The crime still happened, a lesser on than murder, sure, but, a crime still took place. Conspiracy to commit the illegal act.
Quite logical. Just not sure it's a statutory offense. Am pretty sure conspiracy to commit jaywalking is not a statutory offense.
Even if it is an indictable offense, since they didn't go through with the plan, I'm not sure it would stick, even if charged. Yes, they had intent. I agree. But making that stick when nothing happened could be a bit tricky. The defense may successfully argue it's like planning to rob a bank that doesn't exist. And the court isn't going to assume what is in a man's heart.
