A case where da defendant was charged w/conspiracy,but was acquitted cuz his co-defendant was found not guilty

Question

Looking for a court case.

Answer 1

Hence the problem with the charge of conspiracy. A judge must interpret the law, must apply the law, but cannot make the law in this case without foundation.

One cannot be convicted of a criminal conspiracy if no criminal event occurred. If the only co-conspirator is found innocent then a conspiracy didn't occur. Trust me. The judge had no choice in this matter.

It is up to the prosecutor. So blame the prosecutor. In this case the prosecution was an idiot. He/she should have withdrawn the charge and brought back a criminal charge against this accused.

It is why in many jurisdictions two charges are brought into the mix. First is the charge of the commission of the crime then a charge of conspiring to commit a crime.

Further this implies that the prosecutor should have tried to have the accused tried before the same judge in the same trial. It sounds like there were two trials. Conclusion. The prosecutor gets the blame for this.

Answer 2
