(Modified upon denial of rehearing 5/12/15.) State failed to offer any credible rebuttal to Defendant's credible testimony, and Defendant thus sufficiently proved that he produced guns in response to police officer's promise not to arrest him in exchange for getting guns off the street. Police have authority to agree not to arrest a suspect in exchange for cooperation with police work, and officer's agreement with Defendant was thus enforceable.(SIMON and LIU, concurring.)
