Is there sufficient evidence to convict two men of conspiracy to murder?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Hopper, 177 F.3d 824 (9th Cir. 1999):
Appellants argue that there was insufficient evidence to prove that they were members of a single conspiracy as opposed to two or more separate conspiracies. There is sufficient evidence to support a conviction if, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 319, 99 S.Ct. 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560 (1979).
