Whitler was in on it.
unfortunately the judge is correct about the law. True entrapment you are tricked or forced into a situation without ever intending to commit the crime.
It may not be fair but that’s how it works.
I have as much issue with this as I do pre conviction confiscation and CCE and RICO
Overeach much like federal sentencing guidelines which are worlds most punitive
Not state which are often ineffectual
It’s extremely important for the American people to remember that under state and federal law, Gretchen Whitmer is innocent until proven guilty.
Hopefully there is at least one sensible person on that jury, even though the government will keep retrying for eternity.
Even if the state(FBI) keeps you high all the time and plies you by having a woman sleep with you? FBI constantly smoked pot with the one guy.
I always thought it was the “if not for” test.
A jury is able to decide whatever the hell it wants. If I were on the jury my thought process would be simple: “The FBI did something. And I don’t like it.”
It’s not a lie if you truly believe it.
And republican juries always seem to want to follow the law.
I would love to see more jury nullification in cases like these. Stick a thumb in the eye of the Wokestapo.
I’m sorry, but no. The American criminal justice system is based on innocent until proven guilty. The FBI can’t ask a jury to convict someone of a crime if the FBI committed a crime in order to arrive at the charged criminal act.
The DOJ must approach the court with “clean hands” before the court should even entertain the charges.
“If an FBI agent persuades someone to commit a crime, it’s not entrapment if that person is already willing.”
If you have to be persuaded, doesn’t that mean you weren’t already willing?
“Reluctance” is the new measure for entrapment?
I wonder who wrote that new definition. Perhaps a certain ‘law professor’???
Has anyone found web evidence of the left changing literal definitions of entrapment?
Such a change undermines all 1/6 defendants’ defense, coincidentally.
IMO, if the government in ANY WAY facilitates the plans, attempt or execution of an illegal criminal act they are equally complicit in the crime; whatever the final charges may be, if I’m on that jury, they (defendants) WALK, period.
That alone shows they weren't serious.
I'd believe a street sweeper or a skateboard before I'd believe a PT Cruiser.
