Shanice Has Been Selling Drugs Here and There for the Past

question 52

Multiple Choice

Shanice has been selling drugs here and there for the past few years. She doesn't make a lot of money, but it's enough to get by. She has befriended Rizzo who claims to have a big job for her. Typically she only sells marijuana but he claims she can make a lot more selling crack cocaine. She is very hesitant because she knows of the harsh penalties associated with crack, but Rizzo continuously pressures her to come work for him and makes statements like "if she values their friendship, she would start dealing crack for him." Eventually after months of convincing she gives in to Rizzo. It turns out Rizzo is an undercover agent. Under which test will Shanice have the best chances of an acquittal if she faces criminal charges?
