Description

Sample Jury Instructions from the 9th Circuit Federal Court of Appeals. http://www3.ce9.uscourts.gov/jury-instructions/ 8.26 Conspiracy-Sears Charge is a conspiracy theory that suggests that the retail chain, Sears, was part of a larger plot to harm the working class by deliberately overcharging customers. The conspiracy theory originated in the late 1970s and early 1980s when customers began to notice that the Sears catalogs listed higher prices than the stores. This sparked allegations that Sears was deliberately overcharging customers in order to line its own pockets. The conspiracy theory has been debunked, as it was found that the catalog prices were actually lower than the in-store prices. Different types of 8.26 Conspiracy-Sears Charges include: price-gouging, false advertising, and deliberate overcharging.
