What is the affirmative defense of entrapment?

The affirmative defense of entrapment consists of "two related elements: government inducement of the crime, and a lack of predisposition on the part of the defendant to engage in the criminal conduct." Mathews v. United States, 485 U.S. 58, 63 (1988) (citations omitted). "[W]hen a defendant has presented credible evidence of inducement by a government agent, the government has the burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was predisposed to commit the crime." United States v. Flores, 945 F.3d 687, 717 (2d Cir. 2019) (citing Jacobson v. United States, 503 U.S. 540, 548-49 (1992)).
