which constitutes such offense, misdemeanor or unlawful act.

or unlawful act, he/she is guilty of conspiring with such other person
or persons to commit such offense, misdemeanor or unlawful act, whether
or not he/she knows their identity.

a person conspires to commit a number of offenses, misdemeanors or
unlawful acts he/she is guilty of only one (1) conspiracy so long
as such multiple offenses, misdemeanors or unlawful acts are the object
of the same agreement.

as to him/her only if he/she advises those with whom he/she has conspired

of the existence of the conspiracy and of his/her participation in
it.

or unlawful act.
