Conspiracy is called the "prosecutors darling"
because it is easier to prove than almost any other crime.
Federal Conspiracy
is an agreement
A conspiracy may be charged where two or more
people agree to commit any offense against the Untied States, or to
defraud the Untied States and at least one person does some act in
furtherance of the conspiracy. Conspiracy is addressed by Title 18
of the United States Code. Penalties for federal conspiracy
generally include up to five years under 18 USC 371. However, there
are exceptions, like drug cases, where the potential penalty is the
same as the drug offense.
Federal Conspiracy
charge examples
Conspiracy was charged in the 1970's Watergate
cases. Also, Martha Stewart was convicted of conspiracy to lie about
stock transactions. However, Martha was not charged with insider
trading. The Miami defendants in the alleged terrorist plot to blow
up the Sears building and a Federal Building were charged with four
counts of conspiracy. Conspiracy is one of the most commonly filed
charges in terrorism cases. Michael Vick was sentenced to 23 months
in federal prison and three years' probation for his role in a dog
fighting conspiracy.
Federal Drug conspiracy
If conspiracy is charged in relation to a drug
case, no act in furtherance of the conspiracy is required. So, with
drug conspiracies, the government has the burden of proving only an
agreement. Also, conspiracy for drug charges is punishable by the
same amount of prison time as the substantive offense. For instance,
if you were charged with possession with intent to distribute crack
cocaine over 50 grams and conspiracy to possess with intent to
distribute crack cocaine over 50 grams, you are looking at 10 years
to life in prison on each separate count.
Agencies like the FBI, DEA or another federal
agency, may prosecute conspiracies. The particular agency which
prosecutes is determined by the type of conspiracy involved. Because
of the serious nature of the crime of conspiracy, as well as the
types of penalties one convicted of conspiracy may face, it is
important to hire an experienced federal criminal defense lawyer,
preferably one who is board certified in criminal trial law.
Mere Presence is not
enough
Just hanging out with co-conspirators is not
enough to convict. However, the jury can consider that evidence and
weigh it along with other evidence.
