Question:
John was a small-time cocaine dealer. One of his customers, Owen, was caught by federal drug agents. To negotiate for a less severe sentence, Owen cooperated with the government and continued buying drugs from John. The agents set up audio and video surveillance of John, and Owen continued to purchase small quantities of cocaine, but began to insist that John procure at least one kilogram of cocaine for Owen to buy. It took repeated requests and many months, but John finally secured the kilogram for Owen to buy. On delivery day, agents discovered John in the car with the kilogram on his lap.
At John's trial for cocaine distribution, he raised the defense of entrapment. Will he be successful? Explain
