A person is guilty of conspiracy to commit a crime if: (a) he agrees with one or more other persons that he or one of them will engage in conduct which constitutes such crime; (b) he does so with the intention of engaging in, promoting or assisting in the conduct which constitutes such crime; and (c) he or one of them performs an overt act in pursuance of the agreement. SOURCE: Guam §§ 182-185; M.P.C. § 5.03 (1), (5); *Cal. § 8.10 (T.D.2 1968); Cal. § 720 (1971); Mass. ch. 263, § 48; N.J. § 2C:5-2(a)(d). CROSS-REFERENCES: 9 GCA § 1.16 (a)(3),(4). COMMENT: Section 13.30 eliminates all of the conspiratorial objectives of former §§ 182 of the Penal Code except the commission of a crime. In this it is consistent with the Model Penal Code and probably makes little, if any, change in the actual application of the former statute. The overt act requirement is in accord with former § 184 of the Penal Code.

§ 13.35 Same: Multiple Criminal Objectives. If a person conspires to commit a number of crimes, he may be convicted of only one conspiracy so long as those multiple crimes are the object of the same agreement or continuous conspiratorial relationship. SOURCE: M.P.C. § 503(3); *Cal. § 811 (T.D.2 1968); Cal. § 703(a) (1971); N.J. § 2C:5-2(c). CROSS-REFERENCES: 9 GCA § 13.10. COMMENT: A new Section. This Section helps to avoid the accumulation of penalties and to mediate the potential harshness of a conspiracy prosecution which moves prosecution back to stages of preparation.
