ny · 1988 · cited in 8 New York opinions naming this issue, 2007–2020
2 sentences

2020The County Court properly declined the defendant's request to charge the jury with the affirmative defense of entrapment since no reasonable view of the evidence supported that defense ( see Penal Law § 40.05; People v Butts , 72 NY2d 746, 750 ; People v Mazarigos , 76 AD3d 533 , 534; People v Pilgrim , 154 AD2d 407, 409 ).

2013The Supreme Court properly declined the defendant’s request to charge the jury with the affirmative defense of entrapment since no reasonable view of the evidence supported that defense (see Penal Law § 40.05; People v Butts, 72 NY2d 746, 750 [1988]; People v Garcia, 66 AD3d 699 , 700- [2009]).

People v. Browngreen
ny · 1993 · cited in 7 New York opinions naming this issue, 2009–2020
2 sentences

2020"Conduct merely affording a person an opportunity to commit an offense does not constitute entrapment" (Penal Law § 40.05; see People v Brown , 82 NY2d 869, 871-872 [1993]). [FN2] Defendant contends that the evidence adduced at trial — including the contents of the advertisement, the addition of the 14-year-old female to the scenario and the contradictory statements as to whether the sisters would do things "together or separate" or as a "package deal" — reasonably and sufficiently supports his entitlement to the affirmative defense of entrapment.

2020Contrary to the defendant's contention, the evidence demonstrated that the confidential informant merely afforded the defendant the opportunity to commit the subject offense, which, standing alone, was insufficient to warrant an entrapment charge ( see People v Brown , 82 NY2d 869, 871-872 ; People v Mazarigos , 76 AD3d at 534).

2020Defendant next contends that Supreme Court erred when it declined to charge the jury with the affirmative defense of entrapment.

2010The trial court properly declined the defendant’s request to charge the jury with the affirmative defense of entrapment since no reasonable view of the evidence supported that defense (see Penal Law § 40.05; People v Butts, 72 NY2d 746, 750 [1988]; People v Garcia, 66 AD3d 699 [2009]; People v Skervin, 17 AD3d 771, 771-772 [2005]).
