What about if you were caught committing a crime and a detective told you you had to help in a sting operation if you wanted to avoid chargers. In the sing operation you are told to solicit a hit from a suspected hitman. which you do and then are promptly arrested for conspiracy to commit murder. Do you think entrapment should not be a defense in this case? I am pretty sure it's the exact kind of situation the defense is intended to be used in.
