When a defendant raises an entrapment defense, must the government disprove entrapment

Questions Presented 1. When a defendant raises an entrapment defense, must the government disprove entrapment by establishing predisposition or a lack of inducement as to the particular crimes charged, or just as to similar crimes? 2. Does predisposition for entrapment purposes include only the defendant’s willingness to commit the offense prior to being contacted by government agents, or also whether he could or would have committed the crime but for the agents’ intervention? 3. Should the Court hold this petition pending disposition of Jones v. United States, No. 23-6480, and if certiorari is granted in that case, simultaneously grant this petition so the cases may be considered in concert, or at least hold the petition until an opinion is issued and then grant this petition, vacate the judgment, and remand for reconsideration in light of that decision (GVR)? ii
