Colorado Springs Conspiracy Attorney
Information on Conspiracy Charges in CO
Conspiracy is a crime wherein two or more people agree that they will commit
a crime, or act in an illegal manner. A crime does not actually need to
be committed for someone to be guilty of conspiracy. Conspiracy is a serious
crime that carries with it harsh penalties. If you are being charged with
conspiracy, it is essential that you speak with a Colorado Springs
white collar crimes attorney from our firm today. Time is of the essence when facing serious
criminal charges, and your attorney needs to get started on your defense
as soon as possible.
What To Do About Conspiracy Charges?
It is difficult to give a general guideline of what the punishments for
a conspiracy conviction may entail, because every case is unique. If a
crime that two people conspired to commit was in fact attempted, the defendants
may be tried as if the crime was committed successfully. Additionally,
all members of a conspiracy are held responsible for all of the actions
of all the other members of the conspiracy. In other words, if a co-conspirator
hurts someone during the attempted crime, all members of the conspiracy
will be charged with that crime. As you can see, it is a serious crime
that may lead to months or years in jail. Furthermore, depending upon
the circumstances, conspiracy can be charged as a
federal crime.
There are some defenses that can be employed by a defense lawyer when you
have been accused of conspiracy:
- Abandonment of the crime before you had been accused
- Actions that have been taken are not actually illegal
- Impossibility in the circumstances required to complete the crime
In order to ensure your defense, you need to be sure your attorney has
the experience necessary to fully examine the case, the evidence that
the government has against them, and how it can be proven that the alleged
criminal had nothing to do with the crime in question. Since you may be
facing the government, it is important that your representation is not
afraid to fight this power on your behalf.
