Defense on Federal Conspiracy Charges in Texas Criminal Cases
Conspiracy charges are most often used in federal drug crime prosecution. Sometimes it's combined with tax evasion; sometimes it's included with corruption charges or embezzlement.
Conspiracy charges could be added in addition to the underlying charges. Conspiracy charges are because people may work together to commit crimes – the culpability of one is passed on to all members of the conspiracy.
For example, federal prosecutors often charge many people with a conspiracy based upon their role in a drug ring, from the smallest dealer on the street or drug mule crossing the border, to the business owner supposedly laundering money. Many of the people charged with conspiracy were never in possession of drugs, so the feds would have a hard time proving possession, or intent to sell or distribute.
