An alleged murder-for-hire plot gone sideways. A shady FBI confidential informant. And a 70-year-old man, Mr. Malavi, caught in the middle.

The feds thought they had themselves a blockbuster sting, but what they really had was entrapment dressed up as "investigation." From undercover agents to wild recordings, this case shows how far the government will go to create a crime when there isn't one.

The facts are outrageous, the tactics are messy, and the jury? Well, they had the final say.
