The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Rodeman, 914 F.2d 264 (9th Cir. 1990):
There is sufficient evidence to support the convictions. To prove conspiracy, the prosecution must show "(1) an agreement (2) to engage in criminal activity and (3) one or more overt acts in furtherance of the conspiracy." United States v. Hernandez, 876 F.2d 774, 777 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 110 S.Ct. 179 (1989). See also United States v. Monroe, 552 F.2d 860, 862 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 431 U.S. 972 (1977). The record clearly demonstrates that the prosecution did so.
