(1) A person commits the offense of conspiracy when, with the purpose that an offense be committed, the person agrees with another to the commission of that offense. A person may not be convicted of conspiracy to commit an offense unless an act in furtherance of the agreement has been committed by the person or by a coconspirator.

(2) It is not a defense to conspiracy that the person or persons with whom the accused has conspired:

(a) has not been prosecuted or convicted;

(b) has been convicted of a different offense;

(c) is not amenable to justice;

(d) has been acquitted; or

(e) lacked the capacity to commit the offense.

(3) A person convicted of the offense of conspiracy shall be punished not to exceed the maximum sentence provided for the offense that is the object of the conspiracy.
