Regarding our discussion about whether conspiracy to sell drugs is a crime. One of the Darwin Awards in Boston went to some 20 year old who kept calling the cell phone of a cop to sell drugs (apparently he had a wrong number). After a few conversations he met the guy and arrested him on the spot for "conspiracy to violate drug laws." Nothing had been sold at the time because the kid knew he had the wrong person once he saw the cop, even though in plain clothes. So conspiracy was the charge and conspiracy was the conviction.
