Indictment for conspiracy
21 Indictment for conspiracy
This clause applies to an indictment for conspiracy.
It is not necessary to state any overt act of conspiracy.
Each accused person, whether 2 or more are included in the same indictment or not—
may be charged separately, in any count—
as having conspired with other persons, of whom it is sufficient to name one only, or
as having conspired with one other named person only, and
may be convicted on any such count on proof of having unlawfully conspired, for the purpose alleged in the indictment, with any one of the named persons.
No more than 3 counts against the same accused person may be inserted in one indictment.
In any case before a plea is entered, the court may order such particulars to be given as the court considers appropriate.
If substantially different conspiracies are charged in the same indictment, the prosecutor may be put to election as to the one on which to proceed.
