(720 ILCS 5/7‑12) (from Ch. 38, par. 7‑12)
Sec. 7‑12.
Entrapment.
A person is not guilty of an offense
if his or her conduct is incited or
induced by a public officer or employee, or agent of either, for the
purpose of obtaining evidence for the prosecution of that person.
However,
this Section is inapplicable if the person was pre‑disposed to commit the
offense and the public officer or employee, or agent of
either, merely affords to that person the opportunity or facility
for
committing an offense.
