- finding outrageous governmental conduct and affirming the dismissal of a case based on a fictitious complaint filed against a fictitious defendant in order to investigate a later-retained defense attorney

- prosecutor and undercover agent conspired to file fake charges in a scheme intended to induce the defendant lawyer into committing a crime
