The following excerpt is from People v. Bourland, 247 Cal.App.2d 76, 55 Cal.Rptr. 357 (Cal. App. 1966):
An independent search of the record sustains the contention of the prosecution that there is no evidence to show other than that the defendant instigated the sales and was in no way subjected to undue or unconscionable pressure. (People v. Sylvester, supra, 241 A.C.A. 46, 51, 50 Cal.Rptr. 263.)
