Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

The entrapment defense is available in some cases where the defendant has been lured by a government official into committing a crime. While this defense is not a constitutional right, it has, nevertheless, been given a high degree of support by the Supreme Court. Thisdefense can be asserted prior to trialsay, in a probable cause hearing or a preliminary hearingbut entrapment is also a common-law defense that can be affirmatively asserted at trial. An entrapment defense will probably succeed if the defendant can show, in general, that government officials planted the seeds of criminal intent and induced him or her into committing the crime in question, and the defendant would not have committed the crime without the government's conduct.
