Conspiracy is when two or more people agree to commit a crime or participate in something illegal. According to Ohio law, only general intent has to be proven in court , even if the illegal act was never carried out, only the intent to break the law is enough to get you charged with conspiracy.

There are many types of conspiracy charges that you could face in Ohio.  For example, manufacturing or delivering drugs, laundering money, price fixing, participating in organized crime, and impeding or injuring a police officer, just to name a few.

Credit card fraud in Ohio, also carries many offenses.   You could be charged with buying or selling a credit card to someone other than who the card was issued to, use deception to obtain a credit card, use an expired or revoked credit card, or say you are the owner of a credit card when, in fact, you’re not.

In Ohio, the law takes conspiracy and credit card fraud very seriously. That’s why if you’re charged with conspiracy or credit card fraud, it’s imperative that you retain a criminal defense attorney who has experience with these types of cases.

Some Ohio conspiracy cases are prosecuted as crimes or as civil cases.  In Ohio, when a case is charged as a civil matter, they aren’t prosecuted as a crime but rather provide grounds for the victims of the conspiracy to sue for damages as a result of your actions.

In cases where the conspiracy in Ohio is treated as a criminal matter, you could face long jail terms, probation, parole; have to pay restitution, and other severe penalties.

The Bottom Line: If you live in Ohio and are charged with conspiracy or credit card fraud, before you answer any questions posed to you by a police officer or prosecutor you should immediately contact an Ohio Criminal Defense Lawyer.  Ohio law can be complex and confusing, so by utilizing a competent Ohio attorney, you can rest assured your rights will be protected.
