Does the evidence prove entrapment as a matter of law?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Kachanon, 917 F.2d 567 (9th Cir. 1990):
Suracek Kachanon argues that the evidence proved entrapment as a matter of law. The court reviews this legal issue de novo. United States v. Smith, 802 F.2d 1119, 1124 (9th Cir.1986). However, the court must view the evidence in the light most favorable to the government, and decide whether any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. United States v. Citro, 842 F.2d 1149, 1151 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 488 U.S. 866 (1988).
