How have the courts treated entrapment cases in the context of evidence that does not name or hint at the involvement of other defendants?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Hobson, 519 F.2d 765 (9th Cir. 1975):
"The admissions made by the defendants pleading entrapment did not name or hint at the involvement of any other defendant. Any conceivable taint was removed when the district court carefully instructed the jury that these admissions could not be considered against any other defendant."
See also United States v. Berlin, 472 F.2d 13, 16 (9 Cir. 1973).
