Which statement about withdrawal is true?

• A. The withdrawal is valid only if both the Act and the communication are present
• B. The withdrawal is valid even if the act is present but not communicated
• C. The withdrawal is valid only if conspirators vote
• D. The withdrawal is valid only if there is a withdrawal form

Answer: (A)

Withdrawal from a conspiracy is effective only when you take an active step to dissociate and you communicate that withdrawal to all of your fellow conspirators. The act shows you intend to abandon participation, while the communication ensures everyone else knows you’re out and should stop relying on you. If you merely stop taking part without telling the others, or if you communicate without having taken a real step to withdraw, the withdrawal isn’t valid. There’s no requirement for conspirators to vote on withdrawal, and no formal withdrawal form is needed.
