Braverman v. United States

Braverman and his co-conspirators (plaintiffs) were convicted of several separate federal tax-law offenses for illegally manufacturing and distributing liquor. For each substantive offense, they were also separately charged with conspiracy, even though all the offenses traced back to a single agreement among the group to carry out the scheme. Braverman asked the Supreme Court to decide whether he could be convicted of multiple conspiracy counts arising from that one agreement.

Whether an individual can be convicted of multiple counts of conspiracy for multiple criminal acts that all stem from a single agreement with co-conspirators.
