“[fell] below an acceptable standard for the fair and honorable administration of justice.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Vaden v. State · Guidry v. State“Entrapment. In any prosecution for an offense, it is an affirmative defense that, in order to obtain evidence of the commission of an offense, a public law enforcement official or a person working in cooperation with the official induced the defendant to commit the offense by persuasion or inducement as would be effective to persuade an average person, other than one who is ready and willing, to commit the offense. Inducement or persuasion which would induce only a person engaged in an habitual course of unlawful conduct for gain or profit does not constitute entrapment.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Vaden v. State · Bachlet v. State“[W]e .. . subscribe to the view that officials cannot ‘implant in the mind of an innocent person the disposition to commit the alleged offense and induce its commission in order that they may prosecute.’ ‘[U]nder standards of civilized justice, there must be some control on the kind of police conduct which can be permitted in the manufacture of crime.’”
