Drug Conspiracy

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Drug Conspiracy Attorney

There are a number of unique issues that arise in drug conspiracy cases. For example, the prosecution may file a motion to have all the defendants tried together. This often results in disruptions and confusion as multiple defendants and their attorneys make accusations against one another throughout the trial. Here, an experienced attorney can request a separate trial for their client in order to avoid the confusion and finger-pointing of a joint trial.

At the law office of attorney Randolph L. Goldman, we understand how state and federal drug conspiracy cases are investigated and prosecuted. We know how to expose search and seizure violations and undermine the credibility of police informants and prosecution witnesses who have often been offered a deal in exchange for their testimony.

Drug Crimes, Conspiracy Charges, and Hearsay Rules

Typically, statements made outside of the courtroom that are being offered to prove the truth of the matter asserted are considered hearsay and therefore inadmissible. However, the rules governing the admissibility of evidence in a conspiracy trial are relaxed. In fact, the out-of-court statements of one alleged conspirator, that are made while the conspiracy is pending and are in direct support of it, can be used as direct evidence against all other alleged co-conspirators.

The practical effect of this is substantial: people who played only a minor role in the conspiracy can be offered immunity or a reduced sentence in exchange for their testimony. Consequently, this testimony may result in your being charged and convicted of a crime that you are ultimately not responsible for committing. As your attorney, Randolph L. Goldman helps explain to jurors the hidden motives that witnesses might have in offering hearsay testimony against you.
