Subsection (a) bars multiple convictions for more than one preparatory offense where each is designed to achieve the same criminal objective. For example, if A hires B to assist in committing one robbery, A cannot be convicted of more than one of the preparatory offenses of attempt, solicitation or conspiracy. Under subsection (b), a person cannot be convicted of criminal attempt or solicitation and the object offense of the attempt or solicitation. Under subsection (c), the conspiracy is not merged with the completed offense and, therefore, the offender may be convicted of both the conspiracy and the object offense. Compiler's Notes.
