For the Hell of it, let's say I send the police a letter and tell them I intend to kill someone. Obtuse and extreme, yes, but it's not a conspiracy.
But I can guarantee you that I'll be arrested...

I do not think that you can go to jail for a crime that you plan, if you do not carry it out, and you tell no other person.

I think it would depend.
If I told police that I planned to kill someone, and nothing else was ever found, it's probably unlikely I would be charged.
If I told police that I planned to kill someone by sticking a garbage bag over their head after binding their hands and feet in red duct tape, and then hitting them in the head with a green baseball bat, and then I was pulled over and a green baseball bat, red duct tape, and some plastic garbage bags were seen, in full view, on the back seat, I'd be arrested...
The presence of the objects in my possession, after making such a statement, would be cause to do so...

Okay, you think charges will be brought against him.

That's all I've ever said...
