Common Defenses to a Conspiracy Charge
Federal prosecutors must prove every element of a conspiracy charge beyond a reasonable doubt. Proving the crime of conspiracy requires showing that two or more people agreed to work together to commit a crime. However, there are multiple legal defenses to a charge of criminal conspiracy, such as:
- You did not enter any agreement with another person to commit a crime
- You lacked the intent to commit a crime
- You did not know that the plan involved committing a crime
- You participated in the conspiracy under coercion, duress, or undue influence
- You withdrew from the conspiracy and took affirmative steps to frustrate the criminal attempt, such as taking away financial support or resources, or altering the authorities to the upcoming criminal attempt
Many effective defense strategies revolve around challenging the prosecution’s evidence and filing motions to suppress evidence that may have been unlawfully obtained by law enforcement or that is inadmissible under the Federal Rules of Evidence. For example, if investigators obtained evidence of the alleged conspiracy through a warrantless search not conducted under a recognized legal exception to the constitutional warrant requirement, your New Jersey conspiracy lawyers can move to suppress that evidence. Your attorneys may also seek to discredit the testimony of your alleged co-conspirators by noting that they received favorable sentencing in exchange for accusing you of being part of the conspiracy.
