Someone who was induced to commit a crime by police would likely utilize an insanity defense.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The insanity defense is typically used when the defendant's mental state at the time of the crime is in question, and not when they were induced by someone else to commit the crime. If someone was induced by police to commit a crime, they may have a defense of entrapment or coercion, but the use of an insanity defense would likely not apply.
