The Criminal Defense Association of Michigan will present “Entrapment in CSC Cases” online Thursday, January 25, from 1 to 2 p.m. via Zoom. Presenting at the webinar will be attorney Timothy A. Doman of Grabel &?Associates.
This session is designed to give attendees an overview of Michigan entrapment doctrine with a particular focus on entrapment arguments in the “Skip the Games” sting cases that have proliferated under the aegis of the Genesee County Sheriff’s Department.
Webinar take-aways include:
• At present, Michigan entrapment doctrine is muddled.
• Current doctrine comprises two theories: impermissible inducement and reprehensible police conduct.
• “Reprehensible” in this context is a term of art that asks whether police tactics were a proper use of governmental power.
• There are viable entrapment arguments in Skip the Games sting cases.
• Under Michigan law, entrapment issues are decided by the trial court, not the jury.
Cost for the webinar is $40 for CDAM members and $50 for non-CDAM members. To register, visit https://cdam.wildapricot.org.
