"He (Chicoine) is not totally innocent. He should" answer a few questions. Why didn't he bring his records to court?" she asked. The only records Chicoine produced were two typewrit-' ten sheets each summarizing ore of the charges against Hamad. HAMAD contended that he was entrapped by Chicoine and sold him the drugs out of fear for his own life and for the life of his cousin, John LaHood, a former sheriff's deputy.

By WILLIAM HERSHEY It took a jury of 11 women and one man less than two hours to convict Michael Hamad, 25,, of selling marijuana and opium to Gene L. Chi-1 coine, former sheriff's undercover agent. A Beacon Journal poll revealed, however, that two of the jurors at first held out against signing the verdicts. One hold-out said she signed "regretfully" after re-examining the evidence with the other jurors. "THE BOY (Hamad) was New Ownership HOLIDAY LOUNGE and Rtttiwant LUNCHES BRUNCHES SERVED DAILY.

Common Pleas Judge Evan. J.

Reed instructed the jurors that under Ohio law entrapment is permitted as- a fense if police plant the original intent to commit a crime in the defendant's mind. "If in committing the crime, the defendant even In part carries out his own pur-p then it's not entrapment," Judge Reed said. EVEN THE jurors who questioned Chicoine's method of operation agreed that Hamad had a part in planning the drug sales. "To be entrapped you have to be lily white to start with. I Mike trapped himself," said one juror.

She said Chicoine was the "pot" and Hamad the "kettle" in her allegory.

"The pot wasn't on trial," this juror added. HAMAD and another defense witness told the jury that Chicoine bought more than $2,000 worth of marijuana from them that has not been accounted for. Five of. the 10 jurors who agreed 'to discuss the case were emphatic in saying that Chicoine "did a good job" in his undercover role. i "He did the best he could with what he was ightirig.

There's always a tendency to go against the police. I like to believe the police," said one juror. "With any undercover man there's always some entrap-', ment. But there was none here in the eyes of the law. Chicoine did what was expect-, ed of him as a policeman," said another.

HAMAD, facing '20-40 year sentence on each charge, is in Summit County Jail. Judge Reed deferred sentencing, pending a request from Hamad's attorneys for a new trial and other motions. A. hearing, is. set at 1:30 p.
