"He can appeal on the issue of entrapment..."

Since pleading guilty in court, Craig has insisted that he is not guilty and did nothing wrong. He has done so repeatedly and publicly. If he attempts an entrapment defense, then

    1) he will have to admit guilt,

    and

    2) he will have to prove that the idea of putting his hand and foot into the officer's stall and making body contact not only originated with the officer, but that the officer urged him to do so.

The jury would know that the defendant admitted guilt, then denied guilt and is now admitting guilt again. And how is Craig supposed to establish that Karsnia urged him to put his foot and hand into the adjacent stall?

Well, you probably are right, but Earl Gray, a St. Paul cracker jack criminal defense attorney, is filing something today to secure either a new trial or to have the case dismissed.
