Conspiracy

Facing Serious Charges for Alleged Plots and Agreements

Facing Conspiracy Charges? What You Need to Know:

Conspiracy charges in California apply when two or more people plan to commit a crime and take any step toward carrying it out—even if the crime itself never occurs. Prosecutors often use conspiracy laws in gang-related cases, but they can also apply in fraud, theft, or other alleged schemes. A conviction can bring the same penalties as the underlying crime, making conspiracy charges incredibly serious.

What Are Conspiracy Crimes?

Under California law, conspiracy means agreeing with one or more people to commit a crime and then taking action toward that goal. In gang-related cases, even knowledge of or benefit from a planned crime can lead to conspiracy charges. Because of this broad definition, individuals can be swept into cases with little direct involvement.

Potential Penalties Include:

  • The same penalties as the crime planned (even if not completed)
  • Prison terms and heavy fines
  • Additional penalties if tied to gang enhancements
  • A permanent criminal record that impacts employment and housing
