Description
Defendant, Jack Pleasant, appeals the trial courts denial of his post-trial motions in arrest of judgment and for a new trial. This appeal stems from Pleasants conviction of selling marijuana to a paid agent of the Tacoma Police Department and an officer of the Tacoma Police Department who were conducting a "sting" operation. On appeal, the defendant contends that he was wrongfully convicted and accordingly entitled to arrest the judgment because (1) the jury erroneously disregarded his entrapment defense, (2) the sting operation violated his right to due process, or, alternatively, (3) he was entitled to a new trial because newly discovered evidence after trial would have influenced the jurys consideration of his entrapment defense. We disagree and affirm the conviction.
