§ 28-119. Conspiracy.

(a)

The term "conspiracy" means the agreement or combination of two or more persons for the specific purpose of committing any offense; provided that an agreement or combination to commit an offense shall not amount to a conspiracy unless, in addition to such agreement or combination, one or more of such parties does an act in furtherance of the object of the agreement or combination.

(b)

If the intended basic offense has been consummated, the conspirators may be tried for either the conspiracy or the completed offense, and a conviction for one shall not bar prosecution for the other.

(c)

Whoever is a party to a conspiracy to commit any offense shall be fined or imprisoned, or both, in the same manner as for the offense contemplated by the conspirators, but such fine or imprisonment shall not exceed one-half of the largest fine, or one-half the longest term of imprisonment prescribed for such offense, or both.
