RICO and Conspiracy Overview

Federal prosecutors frequently use Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) and Conspiracy charges to prosecute organized crime and complex criminal schemes.

RICO is a federal law that provides for civil and criminal penalties for racketeering activity committed as part of an ongoing criminal enterprise, while conspiracy charges involve an agreement between two or more people to commit a crime.

If either you or a loved one has been convicted of a crime, you know that a conviction under these laws can result in significant prison time and fines. You’ll need an experienced federal appellate lawyer to help you challenge your conviction or sentence.

At Elizabeth Franklin-Best, we can help you identify potential avenues for overturning your conviction or reducing your sentence and file a robust appeal on your behalf.

Grounds for Appealing RICO and Conspiracy Convictions and Sentences

There are several grounds on which a federal appellate lawyer can challenge RICO and Conspiracy convictions and sentences; these include:

  • Insufficient evidence — One of the most common grounds for appeal is that the prosecution failed to provide sufficient evidence to support the conviction. A skilled appellate lawyer can review the trial record and identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s case.
  • Legal errors — Another potential ground for appeal is the claim that the trial judge made errors in applying the law. For example, the judge may have admitted evidence that should have been excluded or given jury instructions that were inaccurate or prejudicial.
  • Unfair sentencing — A federal appellate lawyer can also challenge the sentence imposed by the trial judge if it is unreasonable or excessive. They can argue that the facts of the case did not justify the sentence or that the judge failed to consider mitigating factors.
  • Prosecutorial misconduct — Your attorney may also be able to identify issues related to prosecutorial misconduct or ineffective assistance of counsel.
  • Ineffective assistance of counsel — If you believe your defense attorney provided ineffective assistance, you may be able to appeal. This may include failure to investigate, failure to call witnesses, or failure to prepare a defense.

These complex legal issues require a thorough understanding of the law and the facts of the case. Our skilled appellate lawyers can review the trial record and identify any instances of misconduct or ineffective representation.
