Emily and Jason agree to traffic counterfeit medications across state lines. Emily acquires the necessary packaging materials, while Jason secures a distribution network. Before they begin their operation, Emily decides to dissolve the partnership and destroys the materials. Which of the following best describes their situation?
They have engaged in a criminal enterprise together based on taking a significant step toward their goal of trafficking counterfeit medications.
They are liable for attempted distribution of counterfeit medications.
They have formed a conspiracy to traffic counterfeit medications.
They have not committed an offense since the distribution was not carried out.
Emily and Jason have formed a conspiracy to traffic counterfeit medications. A conspiracy requires an agreement between two or more persons to commit an unlawful act and at least one overt act in furtherance of that agreement. Even though Emily later withdrew from the plan and destroyed the materials, the initial agreement and the actions taken to further the conspiracy satisfy the elements of conspiracy. The other options are incorrect because they either incorrectly attribute attempted distribution, which did not occur, or falsely state that no offense was committed despite the established conspiracy.
