Syllabus

The trial court did not commit reversible error when it barred appellant from referencing an entrapment defense prior to presenting some evidence of entrapment, and appellant did not present sufficient entrapment evidence at trial to submit the defense to the jury. Appellant's claim of ineffective assistance of counsel based on counsel's failure to proffer entrapment evidence is without merit insofar as there is no basis to conclude that there was evidence of entrapment to present or proffer. Judgment affirmed. (Donovan, J., dissenting.)
