Editing Entrapment (section)

===State court===
Each state has its own case law and statutory law that defines when and how the entrapment defense is available, and states may choose to adopt either the subjective or objective test for what government action constitutes entrapment.<ref name="marcus"/> The essential elements of an entrapment defense are:
# Improper inducement: the government induced the defendant to commit the crime; and
# Lack of predisposition: the defendant (or, under the objective test, an ordinary person in the position of the defendant) would not have committed the crime but for the government's inducement.
