withdrawal
Read a random definition: droit de greffe
A quick definition of withdrawal:
Withdrawal: Taking money or other things out of where they are kept. It can also mean leaving a group of people who are planning to do something wrong before they actually do it. Different states have different rules about how much trouble someone who leaves a group like this should get into.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: Withdrawal refers to the act of removing cash or any other asset from the place where it is held. It can also refer to leaving a criminal conspiracy before the target crime has been committed. The legal consequences of withdrawal vary depending on state laws.
Example 1: John went to the bank and made a withdrawal of $500 from his savings account.
Example 2: Sarah was part of a group planning to rob a bank. However, she had a change of heart and withdrew from the conspiracy before the robbery took place.
In both examples, the term "withdrawal" is used to describe the act of removing something from its original location. In the first example, John withdrew money from his savings account. In the second example, Sarah withdrew from the criminal conspiracy.
It is important to note that while withdrawal from a criminal conspiracy may lessen the legal consequences for the individual, it does not absolve them of any involvement in the planning or preparation of the crime.
