United States v. Vaglica
United States v. Vaglica
Opinion of the Court
In each of these appeals, which we consolidated for oral argument, the Government is challenging a district court’s dismissal of an indictment count charging multiple defendants with conspiracy to conduct an illegal gambling enterprise in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 371 and 1955. The district court dismissed the count in each case on the ground that it violated Wharton’s Rule.
Reversed and remanded.
. “ . . . When to the idea of an offense plurality of agents is logically necessary, conspiraey . . . cannot be maintained . . . ” 2 Wharton, Criminal Law § 1604, at 1862 (12th ed. 1932).
