12 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[A]s the part played by the State in the criminal activity increases, the importance of the factor of defendant’s criminal intent decreases, until finally a point may be reached where the methods [employed] by the State to obtain a conviction cannot be countenanced, even though a defendant’s predisposition is shown.
