An individual can be convicted of conspiracy even if none of the co-conspirators commit an overt act in furtherance of the agreement.
False
True
The correct answer is false. Under most jurisdictions applying modern conspiracy laws, an overt act is required to complete the crime of conspiracy. An overt act demonstrates an actual step taken to further the agreement, transitioning the conspiracy from mere planning to actionable conduct. Without it, the agreement alone is insufficient for criminal liability. Misunderstanding this requirement often leads to error. Conversely, jurisdictions applying common-law conspiracy rules do not require an overt act; however, most states and federal law adopt the overt act requirement, making it the standard interpretation.
