About This Video Replay:
This session is designed to give attendees an overview of Michigan entrapment doctrine with a particular focus on entrapment arguments in the “Skip the Games” sting cases that have proliferated under the aegis of the Genesee County Sheriff’s Department.
Session Take-Aways
-
At present, Michigan entrapment doctrine is muddled.
-
Current doctrine comprises two theories: impermissible inducement and reprehensible police conduct.
-
“Reprehensible” in this context is a term of art that asks whether police tactics were a proper use of governmental power.
-
There are viable entrapment arguments in Skip the Games sting cases.
-
Under Michigan law, entrapment issues are decided by the trial court, not the jury.
