Sherman v. United States 356 U.S. 369 (1958) was a United States Supreme Court case on the issue of entrapment. Unanimously the Court overturned the conviction of a recovering New York drug addict who had been repeatedly solicited for drug sales by a fellow former addict who was working with federal agents.The case was a virtual replay of Sorrells v. United States the 1932 case in which the justices had first recognized entrapment as a defense.
