Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“What is required of the Court when conducting a comparative analysis of two indictments is a meticulous perusal of the documents while remaining mindful of the “judicial policy favoring repose in close cases.” United States v. Marion, 404 U.S. 307 , 322 n. 14, 92 S.Ct. 455 , 464 n. 14, 30 L.Ed.2d 468 (1971). While repose is favored, it is not automatic. Amendments of form as opposed to substance are permissible, as are those which may be characterized as “trivial, useless, [] or innocuous.” Stirone v. United States, 361 U.S. 212, 217 , 80 S.Ct. 270, 273 , 4 L.Ed.2d 252 (1960); see Russell v. United States, 369 U.S. 749, 770 , 82 S.Ct. 1038, 1050 , 8 L.Ed.2d 240 (1962). So long as the defendants may be said to have been put on notice of the criminal acts they are alleged to have committed in order to allow them to prepare adequately a defense to the same, the protective purposes of the criminal statute of limitations will have been served.”
