Sorrells v. United States 287 U.S. 435 (1932) is a Supreme Court case in which the justices unanimously recognized the entrapment defense. However while the majority opinion by Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes located the key to entrapment in the defendant’s predisposition or lack thereof to commit the crime Owen Josephus Roberts’ concurring opinion proposed instead that it be rooted in an analysis of the conduct of the law enforcement agents making the arrest.
