BAR 2025: Q.9- CRIMINAL LAW: Conspiracy to Commit Robbery?

BAR 2025 - CRIMINAL LAW QUESTION NO. 9 X, Y, and Z planned to rob ABC Bank. W overheard their diabolical scheme and reported the same to the police. X, Y, and Z were thus charged with conspiracy to commit robbery. Is the charge correct? Reason(s). SUGGESTED ANSWER: No, the charge for conspiracy to commit robbery is not correct. Under Article 8 of the Revised Penal Code (RPC), conspiracy and proposal to commit a felony are punishable only when the law expressly provides a penalty for them. Jurisprudence, clarifies that conspiracy is generally not a separate offense but a mode of incurring liability when the conspirators perform an overt act in furtherance of the crime. In this case, X, Y, and Z merely planned the robbery of ABC Bank, and there was no overt act showing the commencement of execution. Since conspiracy to commit robbery is not among those specifically punishable under the law, their mere agreement does not constitute a criminal offense. Thus, the charge of conspiracy to commit robbery cannot be sustained. This video is for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.
