White Collar Crimes 

CONSPIRACY CRIMES & CHARGES

A conspiracy is simply an "agreement" to commit a crime.  To be convicted of conspiracy, the prosecution must prove the agreement and also prove a substantial step (or overt act) was taken in furtherance of the agreement.  However, the "overt act" does not have to be illegal.  (For example, it is legal to own a car, but if a car is purchased as part of an agreement to commit a robbery, then purchasing the car might also be an overt act).

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


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").*
