Heard a great NPR show the other day discussing how broad a charge of conspiracy is, and how easy it is for prosecutors to invoke and win using this charge. So, if I'm sent up the river for something, it most likely will be my favorite battle cry: "It's a conspiracy".
This all came to discussion due to the recent case of the Sears Tower Plot, as reported here by the Chicago Tribune:
The suspects had "aspirations" but "no means" to attack the Sears Tower or other buildings, a senior federal law-enforcement source said.
Hmmm. Said something silly on their blog, now did they?
