[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3625730, member: 44288"] Entrapment is a complete defense to a criminal charge, on the theory that "Government agents may not originate a criminal design, implant in an innocent person's mind the disposition to commit a criminal act, and then induce commission of the crime so that the Government may prosecute." [I]Jacobson v. United States[/I], 503 U.S. 540, 548 (1992). A valid entrapment defense has two related elements: (1) government inducement of the crime, and (2) the defendant's lack of predisposition to engage in the criminal conduct. [I]Mathews v. United States[/I], 485 U.S. 58, 63 (1988). Of the two elements, predisposition is by far the more important. Learn it. Know it. Live it. [/QUOTE]
