prn(pal y (on$pra(y, there must be a sucient and unbroen chain

of events that directly and de!nitely lins the accused to the

commission of the crime without any space for baseless

suppositions or fren"ied theories to !lter through.Conspiracy is established by the presence of two factors# $%&

singularity of intent' and $(& unity in execution of an unlawfulobjective. )he two must concur. Performance of an act that

contributes to the goal of another is not enough. )he act must be

motivated by the same unlawful intent. *either joint nor

simultaneous action is per se sucient indicium of conspiracy,

unless proved to have been motivated by a common design.*o n/ure a$ to t#e lalty o" an nd%dual a$ a (on$prator, #er a(t$
