Doesn't the crime of conspiracy at least require one overt act?
- waqf 15y agoGood call, but in the U.S., according to Wikipedia: "The Shabani case illustrates that it is a matter of legislative prerogative whether to require an overt step, or not to require an overt step in any conspiracy statute." So conspiracy without an overt act is not constitutionally protected.
