5th Cir. Pattern Jury Instr. (Criminal) 2.16
MULTIPLE CONSPIRACIES
You must determine whether the conspiracy charged in the indictment existed, and, if it
did, whether the defendant was a member of it. If you find that the conspiracy charged did not
exist, then you must return a not guilty verdict, even though you find that some other conspiracy
existed. If you find that a defendant was not a member of the conspiracy charged in the indictment,
then you must find that defendant not guilty, even though that defendant may have been a member
of some other conspiracy.
