| Sep 8, 2020 at 23:17 | comment | added | Maciej Stachowski | There are some citations at least which use the term as a legal term, but they don't seem to refer to the US. I'm pretty sure anywhere in the US it would be legally equivalent to and tried as a "conspiracy to commit murder", but I'm not a lawyer. | |

| Sep 8, 2020 at 23:05 | comment | added | Konrad Viltersten | @BadZen I had a sense that it could be in conspiracy with but I prefer not to assume things, rather checking with a broader forum. As for the full sentence in the context, I doubt it'll give you much and there's not with in it (although it might be implicit). See the edit for the full statement. | |
| Sep 8, 2020 at 22:49 | comment | added | BadZen | If the phrase is "in concert with..." it likely means that there was a conspiracy to do murder; several individuals planned and/or executed the murder together. In most US states, the actual legal term is in fact "conspiracy". I don't know about Alaska specifically though! We might be able to answer with more certainly if you gave the full sentence or other use from the source material. Or, perhaps someone here will be familiar with the film and recall it. | |
