ØIssues: issue was whether the government was guilty of entrapment and if it was should the conviction of the defendant. ØDecisions: The sentencing has overturned the ruling and decided that the defendant was entrapped.ØReasoning: court decided that Mr. Jacobson initial purchase of child pornography should not be used as evidence of a predisposition for breaking the law. ØDissenting Opinions: According to the dissent, the evidence present convinced the judges that the defendant was predisposed to commit the offense. (Supreme Court. 1992)Title: Sherman v. the United States, 356 U.S. 369 (1958)ØFacts: The accused was convicted of selling narcotics. Sherman met an informant of the government at medical care when they were both seeking treatment for drug addiction. ØIssues: In this case, the issue was whether the ruling should stand or if it was a case of entrapment.ØDecisions: The jury reversed the conviction, and the defendant was remanded. ØReasoning: The opinion of the judges was that there must be a distinction between a trap for an unwitting citizen and unwitting citizen. ØDissenting Opinions: there were no dissenting opinions. (Supreme Court.1958)The case studyØConsidering this incident, while operating as an undercover agent in an area best known for drug trafficking, you noticed a car stopping at the junction waiting for the traffic lights to show.ØThe first question will be whether you had a probable cause for initiating the encounter.ØThe next step will be establishing whether the defendant was persuaded by the government to commit the offense, would the individual have committed the crime without the government involvement. ØAlso, if the defense is subjective, then one can show the past criminal record of the suspect.ØIf it is an objective case, however, the criminal history of the person will not be relevant andØIf the person did not want to purchase the drug, then the officer’s action could not encourage him to buy the drug in any way.ØThere is a significant distinction between providing a chance to commit a crime and entrapment. For instance, if a predisposition exists for committing this form of offense then it will be hard to use entrapment as a defense mainly because from your previous action, it is evident you will commit the offense without the police involvement. ØIf the drug being exchanged in this incidence was marijuana, and it occurred in a state like Oklahoma.i.then the crime history of the defendant and the location would dictate if it was a misdemeanor charge or felony. ii.The charge of possession is a misdemeanor crime on its own n Oklahoma.iii.if it a subsequent crime or if the possession is less than 1000 feet from a public and private institution, public park, or in the presence of a child under 12 years then it will be classified as a felony.
