Washington Supreme Court August 29, 1996, No. 60389-8 (State v. Lively)

lead-opinion

Madsen, J. —

At issue in this case is whether: (1) the trial court erred in instructing the jury as to the burden of proof for the defense of entrapment; (2) the evidence supports a finding, as a matter of law, that the Defendant was entrapped; and (3) the actions of the State constitute outrageous conduct in violation of the Defendant’s right to due process.
