Heading: Conspiracy to Transport Illegal Aliens

Text: 31 The conspiracy count against Condrin required proof of (1) an agreement between two or more persons to break the law, (2) an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy, and (3) defendant's wilful action to join the conspiracy. United States v. Summers, 414 F.3d 1287, 1295 (10th Cir.2005). The defendant's participation in ... the conspiracy need only be slight, so long as sufficient evidence exists to establish the defendant's participation beyond a reasonable doubt. United States v. Johnston, 146 F.3d 785, 789 (10th Cir. 1998). Based on the facts discussed above, there was sufficient evidence for a rational trier of fact to infer that Condrin was a knowing and active participant in a conspiracy with Campos to transport illegal aliens within the United States.
