Conspiracy to be Viewed as a Whole
In determining whether a conspiracy existed, you are not to isolate various acts and
events and determine separately whether each was illegal, unfair, or unreasonable. Rather,
you are to consider all of the evidence – all of the acts and events – as a whole in determining
whether a conspiracy existed and, if so, its character and effects.
Acts in and of themselves lawful may nevertheless constitute or be a part of an illegal
conspiracy if they are part of a concerted plan. Even lawful agreements, legal actions, and
business activities may help make up a pattern of conduct that is unlawful.
