A big mistake people make is thinking that a conspiracy charge involves a large amount of people or a serious offence. Contrary to those beliefs, a conspiracy charge requires much less than expected.
To be convicted of a conspiracy charge, a prosecutor must prove that the person entered in an agreement with one or more persons and that one person took some further action to carry out that agreement.
Many people are not aware of the severity of a conspiracy conviction. They assume that it must be less than a charge for the actual committed crime. They are unaware that one can still receive a felony charge, and in most cases are charged with the actual crime committed.
For example, if one is committed with a conspiracy charge in a sexual offense, they might still need to register as a sexual offender even if they were not present at the crime.
Crimes fall in different categories under the laws of New York and are subject to certain guidelines when it comes to sentencing depending on the nature and circumstances of the crime. See New York's sentencing guideline.
