What’s a Conspiracy?
Conspiracy is a criminal charge under both state and federal law. In simple terms, a conspiracy occurs when:
Two or more persons agree to break the law (the “object of the conspiracy”).
Then, one or more of those persons commits an act in furtherance of the agreement (an “overt act”).
Conspiracy can involve virtually any criminal activity, including drug trafficking, fraud, firearms offenses, illegal gambling, and even murder. Prosecutors typically build conspiracy cases using direct and circumstantial evidence, such as cell phone records, wiretap recordings, financial records, and testimony from informants.
What makes conspiracy cases particularly challenging is that defendants can be charged even if they were not observed in the act of committing a crime. This is why it’s crucial to have an experienced criminal defense attorney who understands how to counteract these tactics.
The Challenge of Conspiracy Charges:
Conspiracy cases are often viewed as difficult to defend, especially in federal court. Some criminal defense attorneys wrongly believe that federal prosecutors rarely lose conspiracy cases, leading them to advise defendants to settle by negotiating plea deals. However, this is a misconception. Attorney Sean Buckley has proven that federal prosecutors do not always win conspiracy cases. Just like David defeating Goliath, he has successfully challenged conspiracy charges and won cases at trial and pre-trial stages.
What’s a Racketeering (RICO) Case?
Racketeering, often referred to as RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act), is a federal crime that involves organized criminal activities, such as money laundering, drug trafficking, or fraud, and infiltrating legitimate businesses to further criminal operations. Under 18 U.S.C. §§ 1961-1968, prosecutors can charge individuals under RICO for engaging in these illegal activities.
RICO cases expand upon the basic conspiracy charge, allowing prosecutors to target individuals who might not be considered traditional conspirators but are still part of a criminal network. What makes racketeering cases particularly risky is that prosecutors may impose cumulative punishments for each crime involved in the racketeering operation. As with conspiracy cases, RICO cases are also difficult to defend, but Sean Buckley has successfully fought these charges as well.
Can Any Criminal Defense Attorney Handle Federal Conspiracy Cases?
No, handling federal conspiracy cases requires specific qualifications and experience. A criminal defense attorney must be specially admitted to practice in federal court, where the rules and procedures differ significantly from those in state courts.
Sean Buckley is both admitted to practice in federal court and highly qualified to navigate the complexities of federal law. For over 25 years, he has been successfully defending clients in federal court, including numerous high-profile conspiracy and organized crime cases.
