If you've been charged with conspiracy in Iowa, the State has to
prove the following elements for you to be convicted:
1. That you entered into an agreement with
at least one other person to commit
either a felony or a misdemeanor;
2. that you had the intent of promoting that
offense at the time the you entered
into the agreement, and;
3. that you committed some kind of overt act
in furtherance of the agreement.
Intent at the time of the agreement
will likely be inferred by the facts and circumstances surrounding the making
of the agreement. If you know someone you know is facing a conspiracy charge in Iowa, or if you have other criminal law
questions, please contact JHD Law at (515) 875-4818, www.jhdlawfirm.com, or via Twitter @jonahhammerdyer.
