Skilled Federal Attorneys Defending You Against Federal Conspiracy Charges

The following four elements must exist for a person to be convicted of the federal crime of conspiracy:

• Two or more people came to a mutual understanding or agreement to try to accomplish a common, unlawful plan;
• The person charged with conspiracy knew about the unlawful purpose of the plan and willfully joined it;
• One of the alleged conspirators knowingly committed at least one of the overt acts described in the indictment during the existence of the conspiracy; and
• The overt act was knowingly committed at or about the time alleged in the indictment for the purpose of accomplishing some object of the conspiracy.

A knowledgeable federal defense attorney would understand these elements and strategically formulate a defense on behalf of the person charged with federal conspiracy charges. A good criminal defense attorney would inform you that if a person charged with conspiracy actually conspires to commit an illegal act but later withdraws from that conspiracy before anyone has committed an overt act, then the person who withdrew is not guilty of conspiracy. This is a crucial element to understand and implement since many people accused of conspiracy withdrew from the plan and are therefore not guilty.
