Smith v. State
Supreme Court of Florida
Smith v. State, 468 So. 2d 984 (Fla. 1985)
10 Fla. L. Weekly 261; 1985 Fla. LEXIS 3316
Adkins, Alderman, Boyd, Ehrlich, McDonald, Overton, Shaw
Smith v. State
Opinion of the Court
We accepted jurisdiction in this case because of conflict with State v. Casper, 417 So.2d 263 (Fla. 1st DCA 1982). Art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla.Const. The facts are legally indistinguishable from those in Cruz v. State, 465 So.2d 516 (Fla. 1985). As we find in Cruz, the decoy ruse constituted entrapment as a matter of law. Accordingly, we quash the opinion of the district court, Smith v. State, 441 So.2d 1162 (Fla. 2d DCA 1983), and remand for action consistent with this opinion.
It is so ordered.
