The punishment for conspiracy under Oklahoma laws is generally the same as the punishment for the underlying crime agreed (for example robbery). In the federal courts, the crime of conspiracy is generally punishable by up to five years in prison. Some federal conspiracy statutes such as conspiracy to deliver drugs, however, carry a greater punishment (the same punishment as the underlying drug charge).
Although it is illegal to engage in a "conspiracy" to violate both Oklahoma and federal laws, the crime of conspiracy is more often charged in federal drug or white collar cases than in state crimes prosecuted in Oklahoma.
There are defenses to the crime of conspiracy. Thus, it is important to
hire counsel who have experience in this area of the law.
Recent & Noteworthy Cases

commerce in excess of $5 million. Jury returned guilty verdict for Sherman
Antitrust Act price-fixing violation, but judge ordered only probation (with

Conviction Reversed, Case Dismissed.
In the early 1990s, Bob Wyatt was co-counsel to two obstetric physicians and
surgeons charged with multiple counts of "healthcare fraud" for alleged
violation of CHAMPUS regulations as it related to over 100 patients of the
surgery center. This four-year federal investigation in parallel civil and
criminal proceedings concluded in a guilty verdict on all but one charge;
however, Wyatt convinced the federal appeals court to reverse the conviction
with orders to dismiss the charges for lack of merit. Bob Wyatt briefed and
argued the appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. (See
"Published").*
