"I know. I know."
Mercy sniffed and settled after a bit and, after the judge was reassured that she was ready to continue, the jury was allowed back in. Lyssa moved back behind the railing with Emmett.
"I'd like to show the jury a picture of the bullet wound suffered by this young woman."
Lyssa had thought of taking the picture a couple of days after it happened. The picture was blown up so that everyone could get a good look at it. There was murmuring from the jury box.
"Alright, Miss..um, Mercy. The man who killed your friend and shot you is in this room?"
"Yeah, I pointed to him before."
"Please point to him again." Mercy complied. "Let the record show the witness has pointed to Ron Wilson, Jr."
Their lawyer made a short bow. "Thank you." He looked to the left. "Your witness."
nate1980 not quite accurate. there are 2 requirements for entrapment defense. 1 the method used to induce was illegal. 2 the person must not be predisposed to commit the crime/action they were induced to. Lyssa admitted that she had been trying to bait Ron into pursuing her and that she knew he would follow her onto pack property. What you explained is called legal entrapment. This however is what you would call civil entrapment.
I don't think legally the confession would have been thrown out due to entrapment. The entrapment defense is only available where the entrapment was committed by either a law enforcement officer or someone working in cooperation with a law enforcement officer. Thus, if a person is induced to commit a crime by a private citizen, he cannot use the entrapment defense. See Henderson v. United States, 237 F.2d 169 (5th Cir. 1956).
You might want to check legal forums. The audio of the confession would not be thrown out because of entrapment. The entrapment defense is only available where the entrapment was committed by either a law enforcement officer or someone working in cooperation with a law enforcement officer.
