Description
ELLETT, Chief Justice: Appellant was charged with the offense of distribution for value of a controlled substance on June 17, 1975, under Section 58-37-8(1)(a)(ii), U.C.A., 1953 as amended (Utah Controlled Substances Act). He was tried by jury and found guilty whereupon he moved for a mistrial. The motion was granted and the case reset for trial. On November 20, 1975, this case was heard before the same court but sitting this time without a jury, and the evidence from the earlier jury trial was submitted by stipulation of counsel. Appellant was found guilty and now brings this appeal, claiming the court erred in the following particulars: (1) That appellant was entrapped into committing the offense as a matter of law, and (2) That appellant was an agent of the buyer as a matter of law and, therefore, not guilty.
