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 44 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The evidence that appellant offered to engage in specific sexual acts for a price, used words commonly used by prostitutes to describe those acts, accepted the money offered for one of those acts, and undressed in preparation for it, was sufficient to prove that [the accused] was then engaging ‘in sexual activity as a business.’ There is no need for the officer to participate in the sexual activity to the extent of having intercourse with appellant.” Id., 281 Pa.Superior at 108, 421 A.2d at 1171 .”

2 later decisions quote this exact passage““This rule calls for an objective evaluation of police conduct to determine whether there is a substantial risk that the offense will be committed by persons innocently disposed. Thus ... it must be shown that the police conduct would have induced an innocent person to commit the crime.” Commonwealth v. Stokes, 264 Pa.Super. 515, 518 , 400 A.2d 204, 206 (1979). See Commonwealth v. Jones, 242 Pa.Super. 303 , 363 A.2d 1281 (1976); Toll, Pennsylvania Crimes Code Annotated, p. 146 (1974) (Reporter’s Comment: “This section overrules the predisposition test”).”
