Wisconsin Supreme Court·Decided February 27, 1973·No. No. State 121·Published

Opinion

Per Curiam.

The single issue dispositive of this appeal is whether the evidence is sufficient to establish the defense of entrapment to the charge of sale of marijuana.The court after a review of the record concludes that there was sufficient evidence presented to the trial court [768]*768to enable it to conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant had a prior disposition to commit the crime. Therefore the defense of entrapment fails. See Hawthorne v. State (1969), 43 Wis. 2d 82, 168 N. W. 2d 85; see also: State v. Monsoor (1973), 56 Wis. 2d 689, 203 N. W. 2d 20.

The judgment is affirmed.
