Chapter 04A. Solicitation
§22-4A-4 Renunciation of criminal intent--Requirements.


SD Codified L § 22-4A-4 (through 2011) What's This?

22-4A-4. Renunciation of criminal intent--Requirements. No person may be convicted of criminal solicitation if, under circumstances manifesting a voluntary and complete renunciation of the defendant's criminal intent, the defendant:

(1) Notified the person solicited of his or her renunciation; and

(2) Gave timely and adequate warning to the law enforcement authorities or otherwise made a substantial effort to prevent the commission of the criminal conduct solicited.

The burden of injecting this issue is on the defendant, but this does not shift the burden of proof.
