Defendant claims entrapment as her defense. There ‍​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‍is no evidence of entrapment. S. v. Burnette, 242 N.C. 164, 87 S.E. 2d 191. No defense ‍​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‍can, on this record, be predicated thereon. Hence, if error exists in the charge ‍​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‍with respect to defendant’s claim of entrapment, the asserted error is not prejudicial.

The charge ‍​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‍with respect to the failure of the defendant to testify substantially conforms to the ‍​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‍statute. S. v. Horne, 209 N.C. 725, 184 S.E. 470.

No error.
