New York Court of Appeals June 7, 2007 (People v. Washington)

OPINION OF THE COURT

Ciparick, J.

The question presented by this appeal is whether a conditional agreement to murder a person in the future can be subject to prosecution under our conspiracy law. In particular, we are asked to determine whether evidence presented at defendant’s nonjury trial was legally sufficient to support his conviction for conspiracy in the second degree

(see

Penal Law § 105.
