Conspirator Liability

Under common law principles, a conspiracy is an agreement between two or more people to bring about the results of a crime.

At common law, if the reasonable foreseeable object of the conspiracy is a homicide, then all persons who are involved in the conspiracy can be held criminally liable for the resulting homicide if it is committed in furtherance of the conspiracy, regardless of which party actually committed the homicide.
