Conspiracy is a completely separate crime, right? So if someone is in a burglary conspiracy that is actually carried out, they can be charged with conspiracy to commit and for the burglary via conspiracy liability?

ok. meaning that once the act is committed the inchoate conspiracy crime disappears just like attempt would? but you can still bring in the conspirators under conspiracy liability

it's been a long while since i took crim law, but i believe you're describing the same conspiracy crime in the op.

if they're in a conspiracy to commit burglary and they participate in the burglary, they are culpable for both.

crim law mastermen may correct me.

Think of it this way. If x and y agree to commit crime, but all x does is buy a gun for y, and y goes off and commits the crime, x can be charged with conspiracy even though the crime was competed.

but x can also be charged with the fully formed act based on the accessorial component of conspiracy.

Obviously. But the completion of the crime is not important, is the point. Conspiracy is its own crime. LaFave agrees.

just think about the elements of the crime. if the elements of one crime are fully contained within another crime, they merge, like with attempted murder and murder.

with conspiracy, the agreement between parties to do X isn't contained within the elements of the actual crime. that's why they don't merge.
