Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 41 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“'evil intent' and the 'criminal design' of the offense originate in the mind of the government agent, and the defendant would not have committed an offense of that character except for the urging of the agent.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage““Entrapment is the inducement of one to commit a crime not contemplated by him for the mere purpose of instituting criminal prosecution against him.””
3 later decisions quote this exact passage““. . . It is plain that the defendant’s statement of selling the ‘hotter stuff’ to his best customers indicated that the sale to the police officer was not an isolated transaction, but that the defendant had engaged in such activity in the past. It revealed too the defendant’s predisposition, — his already formed design, — to commit the offense or similar offenses conditioned by safeguards against detection.””
