Why Are Conspiracy Cases So Complicated?

Conspiracy involves two or more people forming an agreement to violate federal law.

What many people aren’t aware of is that the agreement to do something unlawful in and of itself is considered a criminal act, as is the crime that’s being planned.

However, in order to prosecute someone for conspiracy, some overt action must take place as the existence of the agreement on its own isn’t enough.

That overt action is defined as something being done by one or more of the involved parties in an attempt to accomplish the goal of the conspiracy.

Interestingly, that overt action doesn’t necessarily have to be something unlawful.

For example, something as simple as crossing the street can be counted as the overt act as long as it was done to further the conspiracy.

Three common conspiracy defense strategies are:

• Mere presence
• Knowing participation
• Withdrawal from a conspiracy before any overt act is committed

Effectively defending someone against conspiracy charges can be tricky, and many things must be considered.

In addition to the particular aspects of the conspiracy itself, a competent conspiracy defense team will also research the circumstances surrounding the case.

Using a detailed approach like this will enable your lawyer to devise a defense strategy that’s best for you.
