Re: Entrapment
Entrapment is a defense, the applicability of which a jury has to determine based upon the facts. However, if a person is predisposed to commit the crime, and law enforcement just provides the opportunity, it is not entrapment. It sounds in your case like the person was predisposed, but it's something a jury must decide based upon all the facts.
