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 34 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The defense of entrapment presents to the trier of fact the question of defendant’s intent and predisposition to commit the crime charged.” Syl. ¶ 1. “The extent of government activity in soliciting the crime charged is weighed by the jury against defendant’s willingness to comply, and other evidence of predisposition to determine whether defendant originated the criminal purpose or was entrapped.” Syl. ¶ 4. “An accused can rely on the defense of entrapment when he is induced to commit a crime which he has no previous disposition to commit; however, he cannot rely on the defense when he originated a criminal purpose and was merely afforded an opportunity by law enforcement officers to consummate the crime.” Syl. ¶ 5.”
