To the Editor:
It is illegal to sell marijuana in New York City. Regardless of
whether the shooting of Patrick M. Dorismond was justified or
accidental (front page, March 18), it is undisputed that an undercover
narcotics detective asked him if he had any to sell. Is it now
standard practice for the Police Department to instigate criminal behavior?
