ENTRAPMENT


39-11-505 ENTRAPMENT

It is a defense to prosecution that law enforcement officials, acting either directly
or through an agent, induced or persuaded an otherwise unwilling person to commit an
unlawful act when the person was not predisposed to do so.  If a defendant intends to
rely on the defense of entrapment, the defendant shall give to the district attorney
general a notice comparable to that required for an insanity defense under Rule 12.2
of the Tennessee Rules of Criminal Procedure. (Acts 1989, ch 591  1)
