How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• explaining that the government’s initiation of contact or suggestion is not enough to show inducement
• noting that the “[existence of prior related offenses is relevant” to the government’s showing of predisposition in its rebuttal of an asserted entrapment defense
• explaining that “[predisposition may be demonstrated simply by a defendant’s ready commission of the charged crime” or “by evidence that the defendant was given opportunities to back out of illegal transactions but failed to do so”
• having “readily proceeded to attempt to arrange a sexual encounter” with the victim supported a finding of predisposition
• endorsing approach based on defendant’s “readiness and willingness” to commit the crime; listing several “guiding principles” to use in reviewing predisposition findings, such as jury consideration of demeanor and credibility evidence
• finding predisposition in part because the defendant went to the effort of “dr[iving] from Miami to Fort Lauderdale for the purpose of paying . . . for sex”
