STATE v. WHISNANT

No. 7725SC977.

243 S.E.2d 395 (1978)

STATE of North Carolina v. Cathy Buff WHISNANT.

Court of Appeals of North Carolina.

May 2, 1978.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Atty. Gen. Rufus L. Edmisten by Associate Atty. Gen. Jane Rankin Thompson, Raleigh, for the State.

Sigmon & Sigmon by W. Gene Sigmon, Lefler, Gordon & Waddell by Lewis E. Waddell, Jr., Newton, for defendant-appellant.

CLARK, Judge.

The defendant contends the trial court erred in charging the jury that the defense of entrapment is not available to one who has been induced by some person other than a law enforcement officer.

North Carolina follows the majority rule that entrapment is a defense only when the entrapper is an officer or agent of the government. State v. Jackson, 243 N.C. 216, 90 S.E.2d 507
