(c) A renunciation is not “voluntary and complete” within the meaning of this section if it is motivated in whole or in part by:  (1) A belief that circumstances exist which increase the probability of detection or apprehension of the accused or another participant in the criminal enterprise, or which render more difficult the accomplishment of the criminal purpose; or (2) A decision to postpone the criminal conduct until another time or to transfer the criminal effort to another victim or another but similar objective.1 Del.
