• holding that there was no inconsistent verdict given that the jury could have found that a co-conspirator committed the overt act
• stating that “[p]romises or inducements . . . do not make a statement involuntary, unless so extravagant, or so impressionable as to overbear the person’s will and rational thinking process”
• “Under section 521(a), if an individual conspires to commit several crimes, he is nonetheless guilty of only one conspiracy as long as the multiple crimes are the object of the same agreement.”
• “the evidence shows only one agreement, viz., to rob whoever left the hotel that night. We agree that the multiple robbery offenses were the object of one agreement and thus may support only one conspiracy conviction.”
