Description
Penalty for conspiracy to commit murder. Increases the penalty for conspiracy to commit murder to a felony punishable by confinement in a state correctional facility for a term not less than five years nor more than 40 years. This puts the punishment for conspiracy to commit murder in parity with the punishment for solicitation to commit murder ( 18.2-29). The current punishment for conspiracy to commit capital murder is a Class 3 felony (five to 20 years) and for conspiracy to commit first degree murder is a Class 5 felony (one to 10 years). The bill also corrects errors in the existing statute, viz: "venue" mislabeled as "jurisdiction," no venue provided for conspiracies occurring wholly outside of the Commonwealth, and incorrect breakpoint for felony punishments.
