This includes reviewing transcripts of recorded conversations, preparing cross-examination questions for government witnesses, and working with experts who can testify about communication patterns, financial transactions, or technical issues related to the case.

Conspiracy cases are complex and often involve extensive legal and factual issues. Here are answers to common questions about federal conspiracy defense in Savannah.

What's Included in This Service

Conspiracy is an agreement between two or more people to commit a crime, along with an overt act taken by at least one conspirator in furtherance of the agreement. You can be charged even if the underlying crime was never completed, and you can be held responsible for the actions of your co-conspirators.
What is the legal definition of conspiracy?
Yes, conspiracy is a separate offense from the underlying crime. You can be convicted of conspiracy even if you did not personally commit the crime, as long as the government proves that you agreed to participate and that a co-conspirator took an overt act. Your attorney will challenge the evidence of your agreement and your intent.
Can I be convicted of conspiracy if I did not commit the crime?
An overt act is any action taken by a conspirator that furthers the conspiracy, such as making a phone call, purchasing materials, or meeting with co-conspirators. The overt act does not need to be illegal on its own, but it must show that the conspiracy was moving forward. Your lawyer will challenge whether the government has proven the required overt act.
What is an overt act in a conspiracy case?
Co-defendants who cooperate with the government often provide testimony in exchange for reduced sentences. Your attorney will cross-examine these witnesses to expose their motives, inconsistencies in their testimony, and any deals they made with prosecutors. Cooperating witnesses are often the weakest part of the government's case.
How does cooperation by co-defendants affect my case?
Conspiracy involves an agreement to commit a crime, while aiding and abetting involves helping someone commit a crime after the fact. In conspiracy cases, you can be charged even if you did not directly participate in the crime. Your attorney will argue that your actions do not meet the legal definition of conspiracy or that you lacked the required intent.
What is the difference between conspiracy and aiding and abetting?
