(1)In any prosecution for criminal solicitation or criminal conspiracy in which the

crime solicited or the crime contemplated by the conspiracy was not in fact

committed, it is a defense that, under circumstances manifesting a voluntary and

complete renunciation of his criminal purpose, the defendant prevented the

commission of the crime.

(2)A renunciation is not "voluntary and complete" within the meaning of this section

when it is motivated in whole or in part by:

(a)A belief that circumstances exist which pose a particular threat of

apprehension or detection of the accused or another participant in the criminal

enterprise or which render more difficult the accomplishment of the criminal

purpose; or

(b)A decision to postpone the criminal conduct until another time or to transfer

the criminal effort to another victim or another but similar object.
