(c)   It shall be a defense to a charge of conspiracy that the accused voluntarily and in good faith withdrew from the conspiracy, and communicated the fact of such withdrawal to one or more of the accused person’s co- conspirators, before any overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy was committed by the accused or by a co-conspirator.
