- Taking a step in furtherance of such crime.
Overview & Potential Penalties
The penalties that a court can impose on an individual guilty of conspiracy to commit a criminal offense in Ohio, vary greatly with the seriousness of the crime. If murder is involved, it is a felony of the first degree and can be punished by a sentence of life in prison. Notably, the planned-for crime does not even have to be carried out to commit conspiracy. The reason conspiracy is punished so severely is that people are typically more likely to carry out a crime when they are committing it with a group of people.
At Funkhouser Law, from the moment a client walks through the door, we presume that they are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. As such, we work hard to accomplish the most favorable outcome for each of our clients.
