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.

Barton was amazing and I could not have had the positive outcome without his guidance. His team is prompt and great to work with. He even called while out of the country on vacation, which I feel shows he went above and beyond what someone might expect from their attorney. Experienced and cares! I would highly recommend Barton!

Very professional. I came and spoke to Barton Morris about my situation and my case. I asked him if he was willing to help me. He asked about the details and my background and history. He give me a positive confidence he can help me and my odds. His price is reasonable. He’s not one of those hole in the wall lawyers who treat you as a number. You are a human being with a personal life. You treats you as a valued client no matter how big or small the case.

I had Mike Norman as my lawyer for a case. I just wanted to come on here and thank him for doing his best for me. I am grateful during this stressful time. I’ve used Barton Morris as a lawyer about 11 years ago and he was awesome which is why we came back. I do recommend!

Extremely knowledgeable and very helpful when it comes to navigating the complicated nature of cannabis businesses in Michigan. I met with Barton where he answered all my questions about the pre-qualification application, and was prompt in answering subsequent questions through email after the meeting was completed. I certainly plan to continue utilize Barton’s knowledge in the future.

Just sitting here on my balcony. A bit chilly but sunny and beautiful. I am ever so grateful to have 100% freedom. Wasn’t sure I would ever meet this day. Hiring you(and your team) was the best decision I have ever made. You are a true master of your trade. As you sit with your beautiful family on Thanksgiving know that this year I am truly thankful of my freedom and the choice to hire Barton Morris. Thanks again. I will never forget what you have done for me.
