Did Darby Entrap McKay? No Verdict Until at Least Monday
The question before the jury is whether or not McKay was entrapped by Brandon Darby, activist turned FBI informant, to possess unregistered destructive devices (count 1), illegally manufacture the devices (count 2), and possess such devices that had no serial number (count 3). For the entrapment defense to succeed, the jury must decide that Darby “induced or persuaded” McKay to commit the crime, and that McKay had no “intent or disposition” to do so before meeting Darby for the first time at the beginning of March, 2008.
