Arizona Supreme Court

State of Arizona, Appellee v. Maverick Kemp Gray, Appellant — Bolick, J., Dissenting

June 20, 2016239 Ariz. 475

Summary

Justice Bolick dissented from the majority’s application of Arizona’s entrapment statute, concluding that the statute’s affirmative-admission requirement raises serious self-incrimination and unconstitutional-conditions concerns. She also would have construed the statute’s reference to “other evidence” to permit Gray to rely on his recorded statements to establish the required admission. The dissent would have allowed Gray to present entrapment to the jury. No separate opinions were provided.
