Withdrawal timing: If you withdraw before the overt act, you are not liable for conspiracy, but may be liable for acts committed during membership. Which of the following are those acts?

• A. any future crimes
• B. only after trial
• C. acts committed while a member of the conspiracy
• D. nothing else

Answer: (C)

The key idea here is how withdrawal timing affects liability in a conspiracy. If you drop out before the overt act, you’re not liable for conspiracy itself, but you can still be liable for crimes that were committed during the time you were part of the conspiracy.

So the acts you may be liable for are those that were committed while you were a member of the conspiracy. Once you withdrew, you aren’t on the hook for conspiracy for acts planned or agreed after you left, but any offenses that occurred during your participation—whether you did them yourself or helped bring them about, or others did them in furtherance of the conspiracy while you were still a member—can still expose you to liability.

That’s why the correct idea is: acts committed while a member of the conspiracy. The other options don’t fit because they either imply liability for crimes outside the period of membership (future crimes after withdrawal), are nonsensical in timing (only after trial), or ignore liability for acts that occurred during participation.
