Is a jury properly instructed on the issue of multiple conspiracies?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Zurita, 24 F.3d 252 (9th Cir. 1994):
We reject this argument. First, the district court properly instructed the jury on the issue of multiple conspiracies. An appropriate multiple-conspiracy instruction "largely attenuate[s] any prejudice flowing from the establishment of the variance." United States v. Griffin, 464 F.2d 1352, 1358 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 409 U.S. 1009 (1972).
