“If I am following you, you are thinking (hoping?) that merely coming to a location where the conspirators carry out their conspiracy and murder is sufficient probable cause to charge them all with conspiracy? “
Yes. From the statute:
“An agreement constituting conspiring to commit may be inferred from the acts of the parties.”
An agreement constituting conspiring to commit may be inferred from the acts of the parties.
Sorry, no. As I posted above, simply showing up at the restaurant doesn't mean anything unless you can prove that the accused knew that was the intent.
The fact that a crime occurred isn't sufficient proof. You have to show prior knowledge of the intent to commit a crime.
And, as the article posted from the Texas DA association explains: you have to show a participation in "a continuing course of criminal activity", not a "single spontaneous episode".
