What are the two parts of conspiracy actus reus? Why do some states require an overt act and others do not?
What will be an ideal response?
Conspiracy actus reus consists of two parts: (1) an agreement to commit a crime (in all states) and (2) an overt act in furtherance of the agreement (in about half the states). Some states require the overt act to verify the firmness of the agreement.
