Was the district court in error in refusing to instruct the jury on the issue of entrapment? Was there enough evidence of inducement to allow the issue to be considered?
Eugene You-Tsai Hsu, acting for a business associate in China, telephoned Mykotronx seeking information on the company's KIV encryption device. He was referred to "Daniel Stevenson," a supposed sales representative who was in fact was in fact Dan Supnick, an undercover agent with the U. S. Customs Office. When Hsu made his initial call he did not know that exporting the encryption device without a license was illegal. In a call recorded by Agent Supnick ("Stevenson"), Hsu explained he was planning to export the KIV unit to a customer in China. Stevenson immediately informed Hsu that an export license was required; that no license would be approved for an end-user in China; and that export without the required license was illegal. Stevenson then suggested "off the record," that he would still be willing to "make the sale" and "work with" Hsu if Hsu had "a way to get the unit out" of the country. Hsu said that he did not want to do anything illegal, but requested a brochure. Hsu telephoned Stevenson two weeks later to discuss the purchase and export of the encryption device. Negotiations continued for three months, during which Stevenson repeatedly told Hsu that shipping the KIV encryption device without a license violated the law even if devices were sent to another country as long as the end-user was in China. Hsu never said that he did not want to go forward with the transaction. Hsu argues that Stevenson offered rewards—that Hsu's associate in China could be an "exclusive representative" and that Hsu would be paid a percentage of "mail services"—and that this was a constant high-pressure effort to push Hsu to conclude the deal. Because entrapment is an affirmative defense, a defendant bears the initial burden of producing more than a scintilla of evidence of entrapment. The district court refused to instruct the jury on entrapment. What will be an ideal response?
