Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether this Court's review of the entrapment doctrine is necessary

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

Questions Presented Whether this Court’s review of the entrapment doctrine is necessary to: (1) resolve the circuit split that has created no less than four disparate tests in the federal courts of appeals to evaluate an essential element of the entrapment defense: the accused’s predisposition to commit the offense; (2) restore the essential, original purpose of the entrapment defense—to prevent the Government from manufacturing criminals—which has been frustrated by the disparate and unguided approaches by the United States courts of appeals; and (3) determine an issue of exceptional national importance, that is, if the First Amendment places any limitations on the Government’s ability to rely on the accused’s wholly protected speech as evidence of their predisposition to commit the charged offense. i PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI
