D is not necessary; you can still conspire without knowing everyone.
CH

C seems too strict; not everyone knows all the details.
EL

I think B is more important, though.

A is definitely a key element!
CA

Wait, do you really need to know everyone involved? That seems odd.
AN

I feel like C is too strict; I don't think the defendant needs to know all the details, just enough to be part of the conspiracy.
JU

I'm not sure about B; it seems like the conspirators don't have to accomplish their goal for it to be a conspiracy, right?
CI

I remember practicing a question about conspiracy where it mentioned the need for an overt act, so I feel like A might be the right choice here.
HE

I think option A sounds familiar because we discussed how an overt act is necessary for conspiracy, but I'm not completely sure if it has to be by one of the conspirators.
GR

I'm a little unsure, but I'm going to go with A. The question is specifically asking about a legal element, so that seems like the most relevant answer.

I'm not totally confident on this, but I'm leaning towards A as the correct answer. The other options don't seem to match the legal requirements as well.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is that the government just needs to show that one of the conspirators took some action, not that the overall purpose of the conspiracy was accomplished.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I'll have to think through the elements of a criminal conspiracy to decide which one is the legal requirement.
JU
Junita

I'm pretty sure the answer is A. The government has to show that one of the conspirators committed an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy.
NA

But A makes sense because it shows active participation.
IS

I disagree, I believe it's C.
ST

I'm going with A. Gotta love those overt acts - it's like the conspirators are waving a big flag saying 'Hey, we're up to no good!'
NA
Nada

Haha, the government asking you to know the identities of all the participants? That's just wishful thinking on their part.
PA
Pa

A is the most practical choice here.
JE
Jennie

They should focus on the actions, not identities.
LA
Lasandra

Exactly! Option D is unrealistic.
NA
Nakisha

Right? It's impossible to know everyone involved.
NA
Nathalie

I think the answer is A.
JO
Joaquin

D seems too specific. I'm going with B - the conspirators don't have to succeed, they just need to have a shared purpose.
CH
Chun
1 year ago
I think A is also important, as it shows active participation in furthering the conspiracy.
ME
Melina

I agree, B is the correct answer. Success of the conspiracy is not necessary.
RE
Reuben

I think the answer is A. The government has to show that at least one of the conspirators took a concrete step towards the conspiracy.
