Party to Crime: Withdrawal from a Conspiracy
WHERE THERE IS EVIDENCE OF WITHDRAWAL, ADD THE FOLLOWING
You must also consider whether the defendant withdrew from the conspiracy before the
crime was committed.
A person withdraws if (he) (she) voluntarily changes (his) (her) mind, no longer desires
that the crime be committed, and notifies the other parties concerned of the withdrawal
within a reasonable period of time before the commission of the crime so as to allow the
others also to withdraw.
A person who withdraws from a conspiracy is not held accountable for the acts of the
others and cannot be convicted of any crime committed by the others after timely notice of
withdrawal.
