Third, an anecdote. We were discussing conspiracy to commit arson in Crim yesterday. The professor was making the point that under some circumstances, the purchase of a newspaper could be the “overt act” needed for conspiracy liability to attach. “Say one co-conspirator goes and buys a newspaper, and takes it home with him. It would be difficult to show that this was an act in furtherance of a conspiracy to commit arson. But say a co-conspirator goes out and buys a copy of the New York Times and a copy of the Murdoch paper. We know which one’s for reading and which one’s gonna get soaked in gasoline and stuffed under the porch.”
