 The majority held that the record showed Hampton was predisposed to sell drugs no matter his source.The case came before the court when the defendant argued that while he was predisposed, it was irrelevant since the government's possible role as sole supplier in the case constituted the sort of "outrageous government conduct" that Justice William Rehnquist had speculated could lead to the reversal of a conviction in the court's last entrapment case, "United States v. Russell".Rehnquist was not impressed and rejected the argument in his majority opinion.
