Garcia v. State

Garcia (defendant) repeatedly told her neighbor Allen Young that her husband abused her and their children and that she wanted him killed; Young reported this to police, and their subsequent phone conversations were recorded, during which Garcia asked Young to help her find someone to commit the murder, and Young agreed. Young then introduced Garcia to an undercover detective posing as a hired killer, to whom Garcia gave $200, a photo of her husband, and notes on his daily habits, promising the remainder upon completion; at trial, Young testified he had only feigned agreement with Garcia's plan and never actually intended to help carry it out, but Garcia was convicted of conspiracy to commit murder and appealed, arguing she couldn't be convicted when the only alleged co-conspirator never genuinely agreed to the scheme.
