Does the evidence show that the commission of an assault was committed as a result of entrapment?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Terry, 278 P.2d 49 (Cal. App. 1954):
I dissent. I cannot agree that the evidence shows, as a matter of law, the commission of the offense as a result of entrapment. In the recent case People v. Braddock, 41 Cal.2d 794, 264 P.2d 521, the appellant therein made such a contention with reference to the evidence therein, but the court held that entrapment was not shown as a matter of law.
