Drug Conspiracy Laws and the Concept of Foreseeability

A former U.S. Attorney explains how conspiracy laws allow prosecutors to charge individuals for the actions of a group if those actions were "foreseeable." In the case of Mandy Martinson, she was held responsible for her boyfriend's drug quantities despite never touching the drugs herself. The hosts suggest these same legal frameworks are being applied to January 6 defendants to pressure them into plea deals, regardless of their individual actions.
