People v. Jamieson
Supreme Court of Michigan
461 N.W.2d 884 (1990)
In an undercover operation, police supplied cocaine to inmate informant Quinton Varner, who himself selected which jail guards to target and largely controlled the operation, ultimately having a guard deliver the drugs to him inside the jail in exchange for money; Stephen Jamieson and other guards (defendants) were charged with delivering cocaine, and the trial court found entrapment as a matter of law and dismissed the charges, a ruling an intermediate appellate court affirmed before the state sought review.
Whether jail guards induced by an inmate-informant, who selected targets and controlled an undercover drug operation with minimal direct police involvement, were entrapped as a matter of law under the objective entrapment test.
