How have the federal courts interpreted the meaning of the crime of conspiracy?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Noah, 475 F.2d 688 (9th Cir. 1973):
Presenting evidence of violations of different statutes does not create separate conspiracies out of one conspiracy. The gist of the crime of conspiracy is an agreement to commit unlawful acts. "The one agreement cannot be taken to be several agreements and hence several conspiracies because it envisages the violation of several statutes rather than one." Braverman v. United States, 317 U.S. 49, 53, 63 S.Ct. 99, 102, 87 L.Ed. 23 (1942).
