28 UNITED STATES V. MOHAMUD because the informant was not responding to treatment. 356 U.S. at 371. The defendant resisted—“[f]rom the first, [he] tried to avoid the issue.” Id. Only “after a number of repetitions of the request, predicated on [the informant’s] presumed suffering, did [the defendant] finally acquiesce.” Id.; see also id. at 373 (“One request was not enough, for . . . additional ones were necessary to overcome, first, [the defendant’s] refusal, then his evasiveness, and then his hesitancy in order to achieve capitulation.”). And in United States v. Poehlman, 217 F.3d 692 (9th Cir. 2000), the government agent aggressively pushed the idea of sexual activities with children on an uninterested defendant until eventually he gave in: While Poehlman’s reluctance might have been borne of caution . . . the fact remains that Poehlman’s earliest messages (which would be most indicative of his pre-existing state of mind) provide no support for the government’s case on predisposition. To the contrary, Poehlman’s reluctance forced [the agent] to become more aggressive in her suggestions . . . . Id. at 704; see also id. at 695–97. At least as to this factor, this case is more akin to Williams, in which we held that the defendant was not entrapped as a matter of law in part because “[t]here is no evidence that [the defendant] expressed any reluctance about the robbery that needed to be ‘overcome by repeated government inducement or persuasion.’ The evidence indicated that [he] was ready and willing at all times to participate in the robbery.” 547 F.3d at 1198 (citation omitted).
