Defensa por Entrampamiento en el Código Penal de Arizona

Explicación Simple

La defensa por entrapamiento es cuando alguien dice que la policía lo obligó a hacer algo malo. Para que funcione, esa persona debe demostrar que no quería cometer el delito antes de que la policía interviniera.

Es como si un amigo te empujara a hacer una travesura que nunca habías pensado hacer. Si no hubiera sido por su insistencia, probablemente no lo hubieras hecho.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan es acusado de vender drogas. Él dice que un agente encubierto lo convenció de hacerlo, aunque nunca había vendido drogas antes. Si Juan puede probar que la idea vino del agente y no de él, podría ganar su caso por entrapamiento.

Texto Original del Estatuto (Inglés)

13-206 . Entrapment A. It is an affirmative defense to a criminal charge that the person was entrapped. To claim entrapment, the person must admit by the person's testimony or other evidence the substantial elements of the offense charged. B. A person who asserts an entrapment defense has the burden of proving the following by clear and convincing evidence: 1. The idea of committing the offense started with law enforcement officers or their agents rather than with the person. 2. The law enforcement officers or their agents urged and induced the person to commit the offense. 3. The person was not predisposed to commit the type of offense charged before the law enforcement officers or their agents urged and induced the person to commit the offense. C. A person does not establish entrapment if the person was predisposed to commit the offense and the law enforcement officers or their agents merely provided the person with an opportunity to commit the offense. It is not entrapment for law enforcement officers or their agents merely to use a ruse or to conceal their identity. The conduct of law enforcement officers and their agents may be considered in determining if a person has proven entrapment.
