You are not a criminal, and you didn’t rob a bank. But, even so, if the court can demonstrate that you were connected to a conspiracy to commit bank robbery or a bank robbery that was committed, things can get very challenging.
Going over what it means to be charged with a conspiracy to commit bank robbery and the ways in which you can protect your innocence while speaking with a Chicago criminal defense attorney will allow you to obtain the best possible legal outcome.
A conspiracy is an agreement between at least two people to commit some sort of illegal act.
But that’s not all: a conspiracy only becomes a conspiracy, legally speaking, when at least one of those people acts on the agreement.
For example, if three people conspire to counterfeit a large volume of $100 bills but never do anything to further this, then that might not be considered a conspiracy.
On the other hand, though, if those same three people purchase the materials needed to produce those counterfeit bills, then that is considered a conspiracy even if they never print the bills, and they can be criminally charged.
A conspiracy to commit bank robbery is when two or more people agree to commit bank robbery and, in conspiring to do so, take certain actions that support this goal.
If two people agree to rob a Federal Reserve bank in Chicago and purchase weapons to do so, then, within the context of this example, they could be charged with a conspiracy to commit bank robbery.
Outside of the above, if those same two people actually do rob a bank, and the prosecutors discover a conspiracy existed before the bank was robbed, then a conspiracy charge can be added to the other charges.
You may not have been involved in the conspiracy or committed any crimes. But, even so, the legal system may still attempt to charge you with a conspiracy to commit bank robbery.
Some of the most notable defenses you and your attorney can employ when being charged with a conspiracy to commit bank robbery are as follows:
You are not a criminal and, if the above facts can be demonstrated in court, then you and your attorney will be able to prove, and protect, your innocence.
