How do you prove the intent was to murder rather than to harass?
That's not their burden. The Felony Murder rule means that the person shares responsibility for the homicide.
- chrisseaton 8y agoI thought to convict someone of conspiracy to murder, one of the conspirators had to commit the 'overt act' of murder? In this case all the accused are conspirators, but which one committed the overt act? Calling a false report to the police is not an overt act of murder is it? If this was a contract killing for example they'd be in conspiracy with the hitman, who was clearly the murderer. Who's the murderer in this case? The police officer isn't committing murder. I think if you charged with conspiracy to murder you risk facing a jury who says 'ok I get they conspired but which one do you think committed murder?'
