The following excerpt is from People v. DeJean, 249 Cal.App.2d 220, 57 Cal.Rptr. 211 (Cal. App. 1967):
Here, Morrow used no persuasion to get defendant to arrange the sale. He merely asked defendant for heroin and defendant immediately summoned his confederate, who in turn told Tregre to deliver the contraband to the officer. 'The claim of entrapment must also fail where the officer uses no more persuasion than is necessary for an ordinary sale, and the accused is ready and willing to make the sale.' (People v. Moraga (1966) 244 A.C.A. 647, 649--650, 53 Cal.Rptr. 563, 565.)
