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 90 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“we remain mindful that '[t]he sentencing judge is in a unique position to evaluate a defendant's acceptance of responsibility. For this reason, the determination of the sentencing judge is entitled to great deference on review.'”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“ultimate determination as to whether the RFRA has been violated”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“A variance arises when the evidence presented at trial establishes facts that are different from those alleged in the indictment. Dunn v. United States, 442 U.S. 100, 105 , 99 S.Ct. 2190, 2193-94 , 60 L.Ed.2d 748 (1979); United States v. Powell, 982 F.2d 1422, 1481 (10th Cir.1992), cert. denied, 507 U.S. 946 , 113 S.Ct. 1356 , 122 L.Ed.2d 736 (19983). However, no variance occurs when the government's theory on which the case was tried is the same as that charged in the indictment. Dunn, 442 U.S. at 106 , 99 S.Ct. at 2194 . Moreover, even if a variance exists, we will not reverse unless the variance affects the defendant's substantial rights. Powell, 982 F.2d at 1481 ; United States v. Harrison, 942 F.2d 751, 759 (10th Cir.1991) ("variance did not affect defendant's right to a fair trial").”
