What is required of a defendant to successfully claim entrapment as a defense?

Be represented by counsel
Admit to the crime
Have no prior criminal record
Be under oath

The correct answer is: Admit to the crime

To successfully claim entrapment as a defense, the defendant must demonstrate that law enforcement induced them to commit a crime that they would not have otherwise committed. This typically involves admitting to the crime in question as part of the process of establishing that the defendant was persuaded or coerced by law enforcement to engage in illegal activity. By acknowledging their involvement in the crime, the defendant can provide the necessary context to show that the actions taken were a direct result of the inducement rather than a predisposition to commit the crime themselves. In this context, being represented by counsel, having no prior criminal record, or being under oath do not fundamentally establish the entrapment defense. While legal representation can be important for navigating the complexities of a defense claim, it is the defendant's admission of the crime that is central to proving entrapment.
