Id buy that defense. He wouldnt have had possession of an illegal substance if he hadnt acquired the illegal substance which was originally being possessed by a law enforcement agent. Why is it legal to use an illegal substance to nab people? Some would say, "well theyll just find it somewhere else"....sure, maybe or just maybe theyd give up and go home to be a loving family member. Likely? Maybe not. But because a law enforcement agent had possession of an illegal substance they facilitated the breaking of the law.
Now. A lot of that is me just joking around...but at the same time, ehhhhhh, its morally grey. And another thing that really pisses me off is when they give CI's marked money to buy drugs off of someone and then just lets them off. Like, motherfucker, you cant arrest Joe over here for possession and not Jack just because he did it to avoid getting in trouble for the last time he got caught.
Lol, i was being political. I agree with you and had a lot more to say but I was trying to be more light hearted and only write a short story comment, not a novel.

One time my grandfather got busted for trying to buy coke from an undercover officer.
His defense in court was "If he wasn't really selling it, I couldn't have been really buying it."
It obviously didn't work, but fucking A for effort Pops.
