Default Re: Dateline NBC \"to catch a predator\", possible entrapment?

i lol while reading the chat from BEP's post.

Back to the issue though... those who say the position of entrapment shows utter ignorance to the law are being unfair to the position. The supreme courts ruling in the other case posted in the thread is an example. The case was a 5-4 split amongst the justices. According to this Washington Post article "Some defense lawyers have challenged the television sting operations as entrapment..."

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...090601863.html

Both sides have reasonable cases in these argument and the deciding line is thiner than is given credit.

More from the article:

"Defense attorneys argued that Kaye didn't believe the boy was 13. Kaye, who is divorced, testified that he had had numerous homosexual experiences with adults and thought he was talking to a young adult."

Excerpt from chat:
