What Does Federal Drug Conspiracy Mean?

Federal drug conspiracies are an agreement between two or more individuals to commit a crime that violates federal drug laws. These charges are applicable in a wide range of criminal cases and federal prosecutors use the vague nature of these allegations to their advantage. Conspiracy charges only require two elements.

Elements of a Conspiracy Include:

  1. 2 or more people agree to commit a crime.
  2. One action is taken towards committing the crime.

In many cases, individuals facing charges for involvement in a federal drug conspiracy were not involved in the crime. This is a tactic that federal investigators use in an attempt to obtain evidence from those that they believe may have information about the crime.

What Common Drug Crimes Form Part of a Drug Conspiracy?

Common federal drug crimes which can be part of a conspiracy include:

  • Drug Trafficking
  • Distribution
  • Manufacturing
  • Possession with Intent to Distribute

Federal drug charges are tried at a serious level and can result in harsh penalties. An experienced criminal defense attorney is needed to represent clients facing these serious allegations. There are several types of conspiracy crimes that are a violation of federal drug laws. These include agreements to manufacture, distribute, process, or import an illicit drug.

The harshest elements in cases of drug conspiracies are that these charges do not require any monetary exchange, drug distribution, or an actual crime to occur. These cases only require plans to execute the crime and a step to be taken in these plans.

What Are the Penalties for Being Part of a Federal Drug Conspiracy?

Harsh penalties can result if the prosecution can prove that the defendant knowingly made an agreement to participate in a crime that violates federal law.

Charges can also be enhanced in certain situations, increasing minimum prison sentences significantly.

Enhanced Drug Conspiracy Penalties May Occur When:

  • Defendant has convictions of previous drug and/or felony charges.
  • An individual is hurt as a result of the conspiracy.
  • Conspiracy cases that involve a minor child.

Penalties for a conviction on federal drug charges depend on several factors, including the amount of drugs involved. These convictions generally result in felony charges that carry minimum prison sentences of anywhere from 5 to 20 or more years.

Defense Strategies That Can Be Utilized for Drug Conspiracy Charges

A strong legal defense is critical for federal-level criminal offenses. These convictions destroy lives, families, and futures. There are several tactics and strategies that your defense lawyer may use to beat or lessen these charges.

No Intent to Commit a Crime

The prosecution will need to prove that the defendant’s actions were intentionally criminal. This applies to cases involving fraud, internet crimes, and other federal crimes. These crimes may have been a simple accident and unintentional.

No Involvement in the Conspiracy

Because conspiracy crimes involve other parties, your criminal defense attorney may be able to shift the blame on other individuals involved in the case. You may have been instructed to commit actions that were part of a federal drug conspiracy crime but were unaware of any criminal intent.

Entrapment

Entrapment is a common defense strategy in federal conspiracy cases because you may be able to convince the jury that you were a victim in the crime. Another party involved may have used force, intimidation, and/or blackmail to force you to commit a crime that you did not want to commit.

Why You May Need a Drug Conspiracy Lawyer

What are some common types of federal drug conspiracy charges in Dallas?

Some common types of federal drug conspiracy charges in Dallas include conspiracy to distribute cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and marijuana, among others.

What are the potential penalties if I am convicted of federal drug conspiracy charges?

If you are convicted of federal drug conspiracy charges, penalties can include lengthy prison sentences, felony conviction on your record, substantial fines, forfeiture of assets, and other collateral consequences.  Penalties for federal conspiracy cases are harsh.

Can I be charged with federal drug conspiracy if I didn’t possess drugs myself?

Yes, federal drug conspiracy charges can be brought against you even if you didn’t directly possess the drugs– but were involved in a conspiracy to distribute or manufacture them.  Conspiracy drug charges can be charged against people who never touched or even saw the drugs.

If I cooperate with police can I get my charges reduced?

Before you consider doing anything, be respectful, remain silent, and contact us. Cooperation with law enforcement can lead to reduced charges, but it’s not a good idea to negotiate or go at it by yourself with so much on the line.  Consult with our attorneys from the outset so you can fully understand the implications of any decision you make.

How do federal sentencing guidelines affect the outcome of drug conspiracy cases in Dallas?

How can Gallian Firm challenge evidence gathered by law enforcement in a federal drug conspiracy case?

Gallian Firm can scrutinize the legality of evidence collection, challenge the reliability of witness testimony, and explore any violations of constitutional rights to build a robust defense.
