A quick definition of Overt act:

Term: Overt act

Definition: An overt act is a clear and obvious action that shows someone's intention to commit a crime. It is something that can be seen or heard by others and is not hidden or secret. For example, if someone is planning to rob a bank, an overt act might be buying a gun or casing the bank to see when it is busiest. Overt acts are important in criminal cases because they can be used as evidence to prove that someone had the intent to commit a crime.

A more thorough explanation:

Overt act

An overt act is a clear and open action that shows an intention to commit a crime.

  • Buying a lock pick set
  • Breaking into a house
  • Asking someone to provide a false alibi
