Most-quoted passages

“The burden of proof is on the defendant to raise the defense of entrapment and produce a preponderance of evidence that a state agent induced him to commit the crime. Once a defendant meets this burden, the state has the burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was predisposed to commit the crime prior to government involvement. State v. Kerrigan, 27,846 (La.App.2d Cir.4/3/96), 671 So.2d 1242 , citing State v. Hardy, 98-25 (La.App. 5th Cir.5/13/98), 715 So.2d 466 .”
