| "Instigation means luring the accused into a crime that he, otherwise, had no intention to commit, in order to prosecute him."[42] It differs from entrapment which is the employment of ways and means in order to trap or capture a criminal.[43] In instigation, the criminal intent to commit an offense originates from the inducer and not from the accused who had no intention to commit and would not have committed it were it not for the prodding of the inducer.[44] In entrapment, the criminal intent or design originates from the accused and the law enforcers merely facilitate the apprehension of the criminal by using ruses and schemes.[45] | |||||
