GREGORY CHANDLER ON THE ENTRAPMENT DEFENSE

United States v. Franco, 484 F. 3d 347 (6th Cir. 2007) the Court affirmed a conviction for cocaine possession, the Court noted that when the defendant raised an entrapment defense he placed his character in issue, making specific instances of his conduct admissible. Because evidence of his prior drug trafficking crimes was admissible under Rules 404 (a) and 405 (b) rather than Rule 404 (b), the government was not required to provide notice of its intention to introduce the evidence.
GREGORY CHANDLER, Attorney at Law
