Withdrawal In Crime Of Conspiracy

From the Paper:

"This paper will discuss the defense of withdrawal, or renunciation, in the crime of conspiracy. The paper will use the recent example of Melissa Frances, who became involved in a plot to hire a "hit man" to kill her husband. Frances was approached by the hit man, Christopher Brown, after Brown was allegedly hired by Frances' ex-husband, Clarence Wilkinson, to kill Frances. Frances agreed to pay Brown $15,500 for Wilkinson's murder, giving Brown $500 as a down payment and a knife to be used in the murder. She later backed out of the deal and retrieved the knife, but Brown threatened to kill Wilkinson anyway if she did not give him the rest of the agreed-to money. At this point the police found out about the plot; it is unclear from the newspaper article whether Frances informed them of the situation."
