People v. Genoa
Michigan Court of Appeals
470 N.W.2d 447 (1991)

- Written by Sara Rhee, JD
Facts
Genoa (defendant) was approached by an undercover agent. The agent told Genoa that if Genoa loaned him $10,000 to procure a kilogram of cocaine, the agent would sell the cocaine and give Genoa a share of the profits. Genoa agreed and gave the agent $10,000. The agent passed the money to the police. Genoa was charged, on a theory of accomplice liability, with attempted possession with intent to deliver. The district court dismissed the charge because the underlying crime was never committed.
