Conspiracy
I'm quite confused about this particular aspect of conspiracy: when you have 2 people who are charged with the crime and one of them is acquitted, does it necessarily mean the other must be acquitted? I've run across this in a couple of multiple choice questions and I'm sorta confused. I thought I remember the PMBR lecture say that at common law that USED to be the rule but under modern law, it is no longer required that for a person to be convicted of conspiracy, others also need to be convicted.
Can someone pls clarify?? Thanks.
