Under this logic, I could order 4 sandwiches from Subway and the way this has been charged, that's part of the conspiracy.
No, you couldn't. Again, the crime of conspiracy requires an agreement to commit an illegal act coupled with overt acts (whether criminal or not) in furtherance of the agreement to commit the crime. Just buying 4 sandwiches from Subway doesn't satisfy those elements.
They will seat an adequately left-winged enough jury and place the case in front of a reliable judge. All they're going to have is the above circumstantial stuff but with that setup it'll more than enough to secure multiple felony convictions and jail time.
Plenty of people are convicted of crimes based on "circumstantial evidence." There's nothing inherently improper about that - happens all the time. You don't always have an eyewitness.
