Few criminal allegations are as serious—or as alarming—as being accused of conspiring to take another person’s life. In Florida, conspiracy to commit murder and murder-for-hire are prosecuted with intensity and carry devastating consequences, including life imprisonment. These cases are often built on circumstantial evidence, co-conspirator testimony, recorded conversations, or undercover operations, which may not always tell the full story.

At Bozanic Law, we understand how these complex cases unfold. Whether you’ve been falsely accused, misidentified, or caught in the middle of someone else’s plan, we are ready to stand with you and fight for the truth. When everything is on the line, you need a defense team that understands both the legal battlefield and the human reality behind the charge.

What Constitutes Conspiracy to Commit Murder or Murder-for-Hire?

Under Florida Statute §777.04, criminal conspiracy occurs when two or more people agree to commit a crime, and at least one person takes a step toward completing that crime. This means that even if no one was killed and no act of violence occurred, the agreement and a single overt act—like purchasing a weapon or making contact with a hitman—can be enough for a conviction.

Murder-for-hire cases often involve:

• Allegations that the defendant paid or agreed to pay someone to kill a third party
• Undercover officers posing as hired assassins
• Use of recorded phone calls, texts, or emails
• Cooperation from co-defendants or alleged accomplices

Both charges are treated with utmost seriousness:

• Conspiracy to commit first-degree murder is a first-degree felony, punishable by up to life in prison
• Murder-for-hire can result in life imprisonment or the death penalty if the plan succeeds and someone is killed

Common Scenarios Leading to These Charges

These cases often emerge from:

• Bitter divorces or custody battles where one party is accused of plotting violence
• Financial disputes, including business conflicts or inheritance disagreements
• Jealousy or personal vendettas taken to a dangerous level
• Involvement with informants or undercover officers who may provoke or manipulate actions
• Misinterpreted communications, such as hypothetical conversations, jokes, or exaggerated threats

We have seen firsthand how individuals can be charged based on speculation or incomplete evidence. Our role is to challenge those assumptions and bring clarity to what actually happened.

What Should You Do If You’re Accused of Conspiracy to Murder or Murder-for-Hire?

The moment these accusations surface, your every move will be scrutinized. Here’s how to protect yourself:

• Do not speak to investigators or law enforcement without your attorney
• Avoid discussing the situation with anyone, including friends or family
• Preserve all communications, especially texts, emails, or phone records
• Refrain from contacting the alleged victim or co-defendants
• Call Bozanic Law immediately to secure your defense

The prosecution will move quickly and aggressively. You need a defense team that is just as relentless.
