Heading: there is sufficient evidence to support hansen's conviction of the charge of racketeering

Text: Under Idaho's Racketeering Act, I.C. § 18-7801 et seq., it is unlawful to be associated with any enterprise to conduct or participate, directly or indirectly, in the conduct of the affairs of such enterprise by engaging in a pattern of racketeering activity. I.C. § 18-7804(c). The definition of racketeering includes violations of the Uniform Controlled Substances Act. I.C. § 18-7803(a)(20). On appeal, Hansen contends that the evidence is insufficient to establish the existence of an enterprise within the meaning of the Racketeering Act. We disagree. The Racketeering Act defines enterprise as follows: Enterprise means any sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, business, labor union, association or other legal entity or any group of individuals associated in fact although not a legal entity, and includes illicit as well as licit entities[.]
