MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Ting v. U.S., 927 F.2d 1504 (9th Cir. 1991):
2 "To demonstrate the existence of a conspiratorial agreement, it simply must be shown that there was 'a single plan, the essential nature and general scope of which [was] known to each person who is to be held responsible for its consequences.' " Hampton v. Hanrahan, 600 F.2d 600, 621 (7th Cir.1979) (quoting Hoffman-LaRoche v. Greenberg, 447 F.2d 872, 875 (7th Cir.1971)). Circumstantial evidence may provide a sufficient basis to allow a jury to find that a conspiracy existed.
