Conspiracy in California

By California state law, conspiracy is defined as two or more people planning and working together to commit a crime. They must also take some sort of action toward its completion, but whether or not the crime was actually committed is irrelevant in a conspiracy charge. Conspiring to accuse or frame another person for a crime also qualifies as conspiracy.

If you have been accused of conspiracy, you could be facing an extensive prison sentence and heavy fines – the same sentence that you would face if you had actually committed the felony.
