Conspiracy to Manufacture Crimes under Florida Law

In order to sustain a charge of conspiracy to manufacture, the state must prove that there was an agreement between two or more parties to manufacture a controlled substance. Simple involvement or knowledge of an offense is not enough.

In Florida, it is unlawful for any person to knowingly or intentionally:

• Possess a listed chemical with the intent to unlawfully manufacture a controlled substance
• Possess or distribute a listed chemical knowing, or having reasonable cause to believe, that the listed chemical will be used to unlawfully manufacture a controlled substance

This is a very high bar for the state to meet. Even if you were involved in the commission of an offense, minimal involvement is not enough to constitute a conspiracy.

Defenses against the Charges

There are conditions under which a defendant cannot be successfully convicted of conspiracy. Aiding and abetting of a crime, mere knowledge of or participation in a crime, or minimal involvement in a criminal undertaking without prior agreement, do not meet the classification of criminal conspiracy.

As such, an accused has several possible defenses at their disposal:

• Absence of proof of a prior agreement
• The accused's withdrawal from the conspiracy and subsequent attempts to prevent the crime from taking place
• Insufficient evidence that the defendant was not merely present, aiding and abetting, or had more than minimal involvement in the crime

It is important to retain legal counsel immediately in order to prepare the best defense if you or a loved one has been alleged to have been involved in a criminal conspiracy to manufacture a controlled substance.
