A.R.S. § 13-1003: Conspiracy Classification
Conspiracy; classification
What is conspiracy under Arizona law?
In Arizona, a person commits conspiracy by agreeing with another person, with intent to promote or aid an offense, that one of them will commit it, and by taking an overt act toward it, except that no overt act is required when the object is a felony against a person or an offense under section 13-1508 or 13-1704. Conspiracy to commit a class 1 felony carries life imprisonment with no release until twenty-five years are served; otherwise conspiracy is punished at the same class as the most serious offense planned.

A. A person commits conspiracy if, with the intent to promote or aid the commission of an offense, such person agrees with one or more persons that at least one of them or another person will engage in conduct constituting the offense and one of the parties commits an overt act in furtherance of the offense, except that an overt act shall not be required if the object of the conspiracy was to commit any felony upon the person of another, or to commit an offense under section 13-1508 or 13-1704.
B. If a person guilty of conspiracy, as defined in subsection A of this section, knows or has reason to know that a person with whom such person conspires to commit an offense has conspired with another person or persons to commit the same offense, such person is guilty of conspiring to commit the offense with such other person or persons, whether or not such person knows their identity.
