Definition of Conspiracy in Atlanta
According to O.C.G.A. § 16-4-8, a person may be charged with conspiracy when it is believed that there is an agreement between two or more people to commit a crime at some time in the future, with one or more of those people carrying out any overt act to affect the object of the conspiracy.
Depending on the severity of the potential crime, a person can be charged with a misdemeanor or a felony. In Atlanta, someone can be charged with both the committed crime and the conspiracy to commit it, but they can only be convicted of one or the other.
Length of Conspiracy Conviction Sentences in Atlanta
Punishment for conspiracy can vary substantially depending on the crime. If a person is convicted of conspiracy to commit a felony in Atlanta, they will face imprisonment for no less than one year. They could face up to one-half of the maximum amount of time which they could be sentenced to if they had been convicted of the crime they were conspiring to commit. Also, they could be forced to pay one-half of the maximum fine associated with the crime they were planning to commit.
If a person is convicted of conspiracy to commit a misdemeanor in Atlanta, they will be punished in the same way as if they committed the misdemeanor. If a person is convicted of conspiracy to commit a crime that is punishable by life imprisonment or death, they will face at least one year in prison and no more than ten years.
Drug Related Conspiracy Conviction Charges in Atlanta
Drug related conspiracy charges are one of the most common types of conspiracy convictions in Atlanta. Convictions for conspiring to distribute drugs have risen dramatically in recent years. In many cases, this kind of charge is unjustly attached to other charges.
If you have been convicted of a drug related conspiracy charge in Atlanta and believe your rights are being violated, make sure you get in touch with an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. Prosecutors often attempt to prove conspiracy with weak, false or ambiguous testimonies, and you may be unfairly treated during a trial and receive convictions that aren’t warranted.
