Tribunal decides that the conspiracy on drugs can be crime
Commission issuing its first opinion of the concept of the Supreme Court decided unanimously that the plot to perpetrate a crime of drugs may constitute a violation of federal law, even if the plot was never carried out.The decision, in an opinion by Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, it was not surprising, because this is an inversion of the Federal Republic of Appeal, the Court distinguished in this respect the other 11 provinces, Court ‘call circuit.
The abnormal interconnection, as is often the case in the field of criminal law, was the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, with headquarters in San Francisco and includes nine Western states. The Ninth Circuit decided in this case that to obtain a conviction under the Federal Drug conspiracy statutes, the government had to prove not only the existence of a conspiracy, but an “open method act” for the same conspiracy took place.
But the drug conspiracy law, unlike the general administration of the Confederation conspiracy statute does not apply to acts open. The law on medicines, which in its current form dates back to 1988, provides simply that “any person who attempts or conspires to oblige,” a variety of drugs is guilty of crimes, conspiracy and are subject to the same penalties Offense only for an end in itself.
However, the general administration of the Confederation conspiracy law does not apply in the case of drugs, does not require only proof of the conspiracy, but that “any offense to effect the object of the conspiracy” was actually summer.
Congress seems to have quite the conscious choice to lead an action to claim open to traffic in narcotics law, justice, “said O’Connor. It notes that in another criminal conspiracy law, the same year, Congress explicitly asked the government to prove That act opened as part of the conspiracy.
