The following excerpt is from Downey Savings & Loan Assn. v. Ohio Casualty Ins. Co., 189 Cal.App.3d 1072, 234 Cal.Rptr. 835 (Cal. App. 1987):
Statements of conspirators made after commission of the crime which was the object of the conspiracy are admissible if the evidence shows that the conspiracy also contemplated payment of a certain sum to an accessory for his participation in the crime. As said in People v. Ross (1941) 46 Cal.App.2d 385, 396, 116 P.2d 81, " 'When a conspiracy discloses an intention to divide property stolen, evidence of acts and declarations at any time before the division are admitted upon the theory the conspiracy does not end until that time.' " We conclude the trial court's admission of the challenged testimony in this case was proper.
