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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Where the State has induced an individual to break the law, it must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the de - fendant was disposed to commit the criminal act prior to first being approached by government agents. . . . Predisposition to commit the criminal act must be independent and not be the product of the attention of the government directed at the defendant. . . . [T]his is not to say that statements made after the government’s inducement can never be evidence of predisposition. If, after the government begins inducing a defendant, he or she makes it clear that he or she would have committed the offense even without the inducement, that would be evidence of predisposition. . . . However, only those statements that indicate a state of mind untainted by the inducement are relevant to show predisposition. . . . Predisposition may be shown by circumstantial evidence.”
