Voluntary Abandonment Defense in Conspiracy Cases

"Voluntary Abandonment" is a defense to any conspiracy charge under Florida law. "Voluntary abandonment" occurs when a defendant renounces a plan to commit a criminal act, and communicates the fact that he has renounced the plan to commit the criminal act to the co-conspirators at a time when the co-conspirators also have sufficient time to abandon the plan.

When the criminal defense attorney raises the defense of voluntary abandonment, the prosecutor usually argues that the abandonment was not "voluntary" by showing that the abandonment occurred only because of some unexpected difficulty in executing the plan to commit the criminal act.
