What evidence supports a jury finding there was a general conspiracy as charged in the indictment?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Perry, 550 F.2d 524 (9th Cir. 1977):
Upon complete review of the record in this case, we find that the jury (and the trial judge in Erwin's case) could rationally conclude that there was a general conspiracy as charged in the indictment. Once a conspiracy has been found to exist, only slight evidence is necessary to connect a defendant to it. United States v. See, 505 F.2d 845 (9th Cir. 1974), cert. denied, 420 U.S. 992, 95 S.Ct. 1428, 43 L.Ed.2d 673 (1975); United States v. Knight, 416 F.2d 1181, 1184 (9th Cir. 1969).
