§ 105.25 Conspiracy; jurisdiction and venue.

1. A person may be prosecuted for conspiracy in the county in which he

entered into such conspiracy or in any county in which an overt act in

furtherance thereof was committed.

2. An agreement made within this state to engage in or cause the

performance of conduct in another jurisdiction is punishable herein as a

conspiracy only when such conduct would constitute a crime both under

the laws of this state if performed herein and under the laws of the

other jurisdiction if performed therein.

3. An agreement made in another jurisdiction to engage in or cause the

performance of conduct within this state, which would constitute a crime

herein, is punishable herein only when an overt act in furtherance of

such conspiracy is committed within this state. Under such

circumstances, it is no defense to a prosecution for conspiracy that the

conduct which is the objective of the conspiracy would not constitute a

crime under the laws of the other jurisdiction if performed therein.
