Key Assignment
Scenario: While working an undercover detail in a neighborhood known for drug activity, you notice a vehicle stopped at the intersection waiting for the light to change. The man in the vehicle makes eye contact with you. You approach his vehicle and begin carrying on a conversation with him. You ask him if he needs anything, and he responds by asking you, “What do you have?” You ask him what he is looking for, and he tells you he is looking to score. You show him a small bag containing a white powdery substance; he asks how much, and you respond, "20 dollars." He hands you a $20 bill, and you give him the bag and tip your hat to signal that the transaction was completed. At this time, the man drives off and is stopped a block away by a marked unit. The individual is placed under arrest for drug possession and purchasing drugs, and he is taken to jail.
The individual is charged with possession of a controlled substance. At his trial, he claimed that he was a victim of entrapment by the police. He was found guilty and sentenced to serve 5 years in jail and given credit for the 3 months he already had served in jail.

(TITLE OF OUTLINE) ENTRAPMENT
I. Introduction: Entrapment is when law enforcement officers
or their go-betweens encourage or sway an individual to carry
out a criminality, which s/he possessed no prior objective to do.
If this is the case, the bylaw prohibits a guilty verdict (Sobel, u.
d.).
II. Case Number One (FindLaw, u. d.)
When law enforcement officers or their go-betweens encourage
or sway an individual to carry out a criminality, which s/he
possessed no prior objective to do. If this is the case, the
bylaw prohibits a guilty verdict II
A.
Title: Jacobson v. United States, 503 U.S. 540 (1992) No. 90-
1124
B.
Facts: Argued November 6, 1991 Decided April 6, 1992
1.
Jacobson ordered two magazines, which contained pictures of
unclothed pre-adolescent and adolescent males (when it was not
4. illegal to do so)
2.
Government agencies sent Jacobson correspondences via
fabricated businesses, and a fake letter writer, in order to
investigate his readiness to commit an offence.
3.
After 2 1/2 years on the Government mailing list, Jacobson was
invited to purchase child pornography
C.
Issues:
1.
He was arrested after a controlled delivery of a photocopy of
the magazine
2.
Jacobson pleaded entrapment at his jury trial
3.
He was convicted, and the Court of Appeals affirmed
D.
Decisions:
1.
A reasonable doubt existed that Jacobson had the necessary
tendency, prior to the Government's investigation
2.
This existed independent of the Government's numerous and
diverse tactics used on to him, reversed.
E.
5. Reasoning:
1.
Because the Government overstepped the line between setting a
trap for the "unwary innocent" and the "unwary criminal," and
failed to establish that Jacobson was independently inclined to
do the crime that he was arrested
2.
Reversed the Court of Appeals' judgment affirming Jacobson’s
conviction.
F.
Dissenting opinions:
1.
Of the Court's concern, the bottom line that the Government
went too far and "abused" the "`processes of detection and
enforcement'"
2.
Through enticing an innocent person to violate the law.
3.
As a result, the Court holds that the Government failed to prove
beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Jacobson was predisposed to
commit the crime.
4.
it was the jury's task, to decide if Mr. Jacobson was a willing
participant in the criminal activity here or an innocent target
5.
There is no dispute that the jury in this case was fully and
accurately instructed on the law of entrapment, and nonetheless
found Mr. Jacobson guilty.
6. 6.
Because the judge believed there was sufficient evidence to
support the jury's verdict, he reverentially disagreed/dissented
III. Case Number Two (Justia US Supreme Court Center, u. d)
B.
Title: Hampton v. United States - 425 U.S. 484 (1976) No. 74-
5822
C.
Facts: Argued December 1, 1975. Decided April 27, 1976.
1.
As a result of selling to Government agents heroin supplied by a
Government informant, petitioner was convicted of a federal
offense.
2.
The Court of Appeals affirmed, rejecting petitioner's argument
that, if the jury believed that the drug was supplied to him by
the Government informant he should have been acquitted under
the defense of entrapment regardless of his predisposition to
commit the crime.
3.
Petitioner contends that, although such predisposition renders
unavailable an entrapment defense, the Government's
outrageous conduct in supplying him with the contraband denied
him due process.
D.
Issues: Issues that were present in this case
1.
7. The Government's supplying of contraband in the course of an
investigation
2.
The case resulted from two sales of heroin by petitioner to
agents of the DEA in St. Louis on February 25 and 26, 1974
3.
If you find that the defendant's sales of narcotics were sales of
narcotics supplied to him by an informer in the employ of or
acting on behalf of the government, then you must acquit the
defendant because the law as a matter of policy forbids his
conviction in such a case.
4.
Under this particular defense, you need not consider the
predisposition of the defendant to commit the offense charged,
because if the governmental involvement through its informer
reached the point that I have just defined in your own minds,
then the predisposition of the defendant would not matter.
E.
Decisions:
1.
Held: The judgment is affirmed.
2.
was convicted of two counts of distributing heroin in the United
States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri
3.
Sentenced to concurrent terms of five years' imprisonment
(suspended).
F.
8. Reasoning:
1.
Mr. Justice Rehnquist, joined by The Chief Justice and Mr.
Justice White, concluded that, where, as here, the Government
agents, the Government informant, and the defendant acted in
concert with one another, and the defendant conceded a
predisposition to commit the crime in question, not only is the
defense of entrapment unavailable but also a violation of due
process rights cannot properly be claimed.
2.
In order to convict petitioner they had to find that the
Government proved "that the defendant knowingly did an act
which the law forbids, purposely intending to violate the law."
G.
Dissenting opinions:
1.
The heroin, a completely illegal substance, had been supplied
entirely by the DEA.
2.
The beginning and end of this crime thus coincided exactly with
the Government's entry into and withdrawal from the criminal
activity involved in this case
IV. Case No. 3 (The Law Offices of Parviz A. Heshmati, u. d.)
A.
Title: United States v. Russell, 411 U.S. 423 (1973)
B.
Facts: Argued February 27, 1973, Decided April 24, 1973
(Summary of the events, court timeline, evidence, and so forth)
9. C.
Issues: Issues that were present in this case
D.
Decisions: The court's decision and the conclusion to the case
E.
Reasoning: The rationale behind the final decision
F.
Dissenting opinions: Any dissenting opinions, and an
explanation of what they were and why they were raised
V. (Change this wording to something else) Was there probable
cause to approach the defendant while he was parked at the
traffic light? ('Lectric Law Library, u. d.)
A.
Why or why not? (Change this wording to something else)
B.
Defend Your Answer (Change this wording to something else)
VI. (Change this wording to something else) Do I feel that the
entrapment defense is a valid one, considering the assignment
scenario?
A.
Why or why not? (Change this wording to something else)
B.
(Change this wording to something else) Defend your answer
(Sobel, u. d.)
10. VII. (Change this wording to something else) Is providing the
opportunity for someone to commit a crime the same as
entrapment?
A.
My answer is, “No, because…”(Leszkay, 2012)
A.
Merely furnishing an individual the chance to perform a
criminality is not a setup. (Leszkay, 2012)
VII.
If the substance were marijuana…
A.
How much would be needed for a misdemeanor charge?
(Imhoff & Associates, u. d.)
1.
Less than one ounce (or 28.5 grams)
B.
How much would be needed for a Felony?
1. in almost all states, possession of amounts greater than one
kilogram (NOLA, u. d.).
VIII.
