JOHNSON, P.J.:
specially concurs.
T1 I wish to specially concur in the fine opinion written by Judge Lile. It is indeed unfortunate that law enforcement would entice someone to commit a crime either unwittingly or even if they know they are committing a crime but yet the crime is greater than one they would have committed otherwise. Because of this opinion, obviously, the Oklahoma Uniform Jury Instruction committee will have to propose one or two additional instructions.
T2 The justice system should look with a jaundiced eye upon reverse sting operations. This effectively is the justice system becoming involved in committing crime and not stopping it.
