The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Zuno-Arce, 1992 WL 59017, 958 F.2d 380 (9th Cir. 1992):
Shaffer, 789 F.2d at 689 (quoting United States v. Bermudez, 526 F.2d 89, 101 (2d Cir.1975), cert. denied, 425 U.S. 970 (1976)). The decision of the trial judge in this case rested in large part on his evaluation of the importance of various pieces of evidence offered during the ten-week trial. We grant substantial deference to the judge's conclusions drawn from that experience.
