Entrapment is a defense strategy often used in cases involving undercover operations.
The defendant’s lawyer presented a clear case of entrapment in court.
The case was dismissed due to evidence of entrapment by the undercover agents.
The defense argued that the defendant’s actions were a result of entrapment.
The judge ruled that entrapment had occurred, thus invalidating the charges.
