In order to use entrapment as an affirmative defense, the defendant must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they only committed the crime because of the coercion of law enforcement. As an affirmative defense, the defendant has the burden of proof. You and your defense attorney will need to prove the following.
Law enforcement or a government official induced the defendant to commit a crime.
There was a lack of the defendant’s predisposition to commit crimes. In other words, they didn’t jump at the opportunity.
A law enforcement official did more than just offer an opportunity. They persuaded and coerced the defendant into a criminal charge.
