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 35 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"[E]ntrapment is not available as a defense to a person who has the intent and design to commit a criminal offense and who in fact does commit the essential acts constituting it, merely because an officer of the law, in his effort to secure evidence against such person, affords him an opportunity to commit the criminal act. . . ."”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“"Of particular importance on the question of inducement of appellant to commit the crime is Lindsay v. State , 41 Ala. App. 85 , 125 So.2d 716 , cert. stricken, 271 Ala. 549 , 125 So.2d 725 ; Garsed v. State , 50 Ala. App. 312 , 278 So.2d 761 .

State , 42 Ala. App. 385 , 166 So.2d 510 ; Dodd v. State , 32 Ala. App. 307 , 26 So.2d 273 , cert. denied 248 Ala. 103 , 26 So.2d 274 ; Nelson v. City of Roanoke , 24 Ala. App. 277 , 135 So. 312 , cert. denied 223 Ala. 317 , 135 So. 314 . These cases hold that where the appellant is disposed to commit the crime and the officers merely provide the opportunity by request or encouragement to commit the criminal act, there is no entrapment. See Alabama Digest , Criminal Law, Volume 6, Key number 37."”
