83.4.3.3 Statements Made Before Or After Existence Of Conspiracy Limited To Person Making The Statements
RATIONALE: If the defense contends that a statement was made by a conspirator before or after the conspiracy, special instruction may be necessary so the jury doesn't improperly consider the statement.
POINTS AND AUTHORITIES: To be admissible against other conspirators a statement of a conspirator must be made during the conspiracy. (See FORECITE National™ 83.4.2.6 [The Statement Must Have Been Made During The Course Of That Conspiracy].)

83.4.3.4 Conspiracy: Defense Theory That Statements As To The Existence Of Conspiracy ("Spilling The Beans") Do Not Further The Conspiracy
PRACTICE NOTE: A statement that merely discloses the existence of a conspiracy to a conspirator -- that merely "spills the beans" with no intention of recruiting the other person into the conspiracy -- does not further the conspiracy. (Tuscaloosa v. Harcros Chemicals, Inc. (11th Cir. 1998) 158 F3d 548, 559.)
