Serena, a licensed nurse with no criminal record, volunteered at a clinic. An undercover officer posing as a patient repeatedly told Serena that his child was in severe pain and that no doctor would help. Serena refused his first six requests for prescription pain pills. The officer then sent daily messages for two weeks, said the child might die by suicide, and offered Serena enough money to pay an overdue medical bill. Serena finally sold him ten pills from an old prescription.
Separately, the owner of a pawnshop in Serena's neighborhood had been losing small electronics to nighttime thefts. Instead of improving locks or calling police, the owner wired a spring gun to fire at anyone opening a rear display case after hours. A teenager broke in to steal a camera, opened the case, and was seriously wounded.
Serena is charged with unlawful distribution of controlled substances. The pawnshop owner is charged with aggravated battery. Analyze Serena's entrapment defense and the pawnshop owner's defense-of-property argument.
