§ 100.15  Criminal solicitation; no defense.
    It  is  no defense to a prosecution for criminal solicitation
that the person solicited  could  not  be  guilty  of  the  crime
solicited  owing  to  criminal  irresponsibility  or  other legal
incapacity or exemption, or to unawareness of the criminal nature
of  the  conduct solicited or of the defendant's criminal purpose
or to other factors precluding the mental state required for  the
commission of the crime in question.
