I'm pretty sure that wouldn't fly. To get a conspiracy charge, you have to have a 'true agreement' between the defendants to do the crime. There's accessory after the fact, but obviously, that doesn't work.

I just can't think of anything to charge these folks which don't have elemental holes you could drive a Mack truck through. That said, I don't know diddly about the California penal code, so I very well could be missing something.
