1. ““The likelihood that Cleave’s [the informant] coaxing was the predominant cause of defendant’s conduct was lessened a great deal by the undisputed evidence that defendant made deliveries on three separate occasions several days apart. While a single delivery could well have resulted from coaxing, the multiple acts would indicate a desire to become involved in the trade and a deliberate intent to do so. Further evidence of defendant’s predisposition to do so came from [Officer] Spicer’s testimony that: (1) after the first delivery ***, defendant told Spicer if he were interested in more cocaine, to contact Cleave, and (2) after the [second] delivery], defendant told Spicer defendant would have more cocaine for him later. Although defendant denied making at least one of the statements, the jury could have believed Spicer.” Marshall, 101 Ill. App. 3d at 247 , 427 N.E.2d at 1335 .”
