ARGUED MAY 14, 2009

Before RIPPLE, MANION, and TINDER, Circuit Judges.

Marcus Corson and Oscar Alvarez were charged with two conspiracies, one to rob a drug stash house and the other to sell what they planned to steal. This seems straightforward enough. But there’s a twist. There never was any stash house to rob. Nor were there any drugs. And the two people who introduced Corson and Alvarez to the stash house plan never intended to rob anything. That’s because one was a government agent and the other a confidential informant (“CI”). This fictitious stash house plot was concocted by law enforcement to entice all-too-eager gangsters to agree to do something illegal.
