FRAMEWORK
Evidence must be placed within the correct legal structure to carry weight. For matters involving organized and continuing misconduct, that structure may be federal RICO.
This stage analyzes documented findings under 18 U.S.C. §§ 1961–1968. Where supported by the record, mail fraud, wire fraud, obstruction, financial fraud, retaliation, and related conduct are examined as potential predicate acts and evaluated for relationship, continuity, pattern, enterprise structure, and individual responsibility.
The framework determines whether separate acts form a legally supportable pattern of racketeering activity. Each finding is cross-referenced against the record, applicable statutes, and case law.
The evidence controls the analysis; it is never forced into a predetermined theory.
