Syllabus

Despite the defendant's insistence that he did not have cash on hand to furnish a down payment for a hit man, the defendant did not abandon a conspiracy to murder his wife because even after confessing that he lacked ready funds for a down payment, he repeatedly insisted he wanted the deed done, gave many assurances that he would pay the full contract amount once his wife was dead, and gave multiple details of how and when the event should occur.
