1. “For evidence to be admissible under [OCGA § 24-8-801 (d) (2) (E) ], the government must prove the existence of a conspiracy by a preponderance of the evidence. In determining the existence of a conspiracy, the trial court may consider both the co-conspirator's statements and independent external evidence, although the co-conspirator's statement alone does not suffice. In considering whether a conspiracy was established for purposes of the rule, we do not require that the conspiracy be proven prior to the admission of the evidence in question, but only that the conspiracy was proven at trial.”
