Conspiracy is a crime that can be punished by both incarceration and a fine. A crime doesn’t even have to be committed for a person to be charged with conspiracy. The person doesn’t even have to be a part of the talks or the actual crime, or know about the crime. If the person helps the criminal - with or without knowledge about the crime - he or she can still be charged with conspiracy without any exception or special treatment.

What does the law in Idaho say?

In case of conspiracy, you can be charged by both, the state and federal courts. If the case is brought to the higher court, you may be looking at higher fines, and also time in prison being increased by up to several years.

The charges are based on an activity that results in planning and/or carrying out a criminal activity. Conspiracy is usually set aside for those helping in a criminal action, and the person may be liable even if he or she is not pursuing the crime, only being part of the plot.

Conspiracy alone without any further action may be enough for charges, especially when connected to: murder, arson, burglary, robbery, rape, and assault. The whole case of conspiracy will be based on any action that shows proof of taking the conspiracy a step further.

If the court is successful in proving you were part of a conspiracy, the punishment will be based on the crime the conspiracy was related to. Usually a rule of thumb states that the punishment for conspiracy in Idaho is a degree lower than the related crime, with certain exceptions. For example, if the crime is ruled as a first-degree felony, than the conspiracy will be ruled as a second-degree felony - one degree lower.

Certain exceptions apply, especially to conspiracies related to crimes including children or sexual assaults. In addition, certain first-degree crimes will have conspiracies on the same level of punishment.
