Massachusetts Conspiracy to Distribute Defense Lawyers
Legal Counsel for Drug Conspiracy Charges
The crime of conspiracy to distribute is a federal offense that carries severe penalties. The prosecution does not need to produce evidence of a drug sale or transaction to secure a conviction. A person can be convicted of conspiracy if they are found to have agreed to distribute illegal drugs, and any member of the conspiracy takes some overt act in furtherance of the agreement.
This is a very low standard of proof for the prosecution to meet. The key to defending against a federal drug conspiracy charge is to attack the evidence that the defendant was a member of the conspiracy. Our attorneys have successfully defended many clients against federal drug conspiracy charges. If you or someone you know is under investigation or has been charged with conspiracy to distribute drugs, contact us to schedule a consultation.
What Is a Drug Conspiracy?
A drug conspiracy is a secret agreement between two or more people to commit a drug crime. These crimes are usually federal offenses and can be charged even if the crime was not completed. For example, if the conspiracy was to sell 100 grams of cocaine, and the person was caught with 99 grams, they can still be charged with the conspiracy to sell 100 grams of cocaine.
Drug conspiracies can be very complex. They can involve a variety of crimes, including:
- Drug trafficking
- Drug manufacturing
- Drug possession
- Money laundering
- Conspiracy to commit a crime
They can also involve a variety of people, including:
- Drug dealers
- Drug users
- Family members of drug dealers
- Friends of drug dealers
- Drug manufacturers
- Drug suppliers
- Money launderers
- People who did not know they were involved in a drug conspiracy
Drug conspiracies are “agreements” to commit a crime. This means that the prosecution does not need to produce evidence of a written or verbal agreement between the parties involved. Instead, they need to produce evidence that the parties involved had a “meeting of the minds” and took some overt act in furtherance of the agreement to commit a crime.
Drug conspiracies can be charged even if the drug crime was not completed. For example, if the conspiracy was to distribute 100 grams of cocaine, and the person was caught with 99 grams, they can still be charged with the conspiracy to distribute 100 grams of cocaine.
