• concluding that the trial record sufficiently demonstrated that counsel’s conflicts of interest adversely affected his performance
• concluding that the trial record sufficiently demonstrated that counsel's conflicts of interest adversely affected his performance
• holding that an actual conflict of interest existed where defense counsel’s law partner represented a co-defendant who testified adversely to the defendant
• stating that once the judge perceived the conflict, he should have asked the client whether he waived the conflict; in failing to do so, and allowing the conflicted representation to continue, the judge reached an improper compromise
• “[C]ases which have considered the issue have generally concluded that representation of codefendants by partners or associates in a private law firm should be treated the same, for purposes of conflict of interest analysis, as representation of codefendants by one attorney.”
