Drug Conspiracy Charges in Michigan
Conspiracy laws in Michigan make it illegal for two or more people to conspire to commit a crime. Conspiracy always involves an underlying crime that was alleged to have been thought out and agreed upon. The most common type of conspiracy usually involves charges that are for drug crimes. Conspiracy charges are especially dangerous because the prosecutor not only uses any evidence that they may have attained against you to determine the severity of the charges and the penalties, but the prosecution can also use the conduct of all other parties involved in the conspiracy. If you are facing drug conspiracy charges, you should contact a Michigan drug charge attorney immediately for legal defense. This means that what turned out to be possession charges, can, after being charged with conspiracy, be turned into manufacturing charges or distribution charges. Consequently, the amount of the substance or drugs involved under conspiracy charges would be for the entire amount involved with all the co-conspirators. This greatly increases the maximum and minimum jail sentence and even makes it more likely that a federal investigation would be made further increasing the penalties.
Conspiracy Drug Charges Should Be Taken Seriously
Because of the increased penalties and because of the perceived seriousness of the offense, it is paramount to contact an attorney as soon as possible. Not only is it important to contact an attorney when the charges are levied and arrests are made, but also at the beginning of any investigation. Conspiracy charges often rests on statements made by co-conspirators during the course of the conspiracy and even after, thus securing an attorney as soon as possible is vital to your case.
