How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• stating that pleading to aggravated felony “could” result in removal is constitutionally ineffective
• Holding counsel ineffective when he testified that he told Olvera he could be deported or denied reentry into this country, not that a guilty plea would result in automatic deportation and denial of reentry
• evidence that the defendant had a defense weighs in favor of finding prejudice
• officer’s testimony at habeas hearing to effect that applicant, while being arrested, said “I didn’t know you were the police,” supported applicant’s claim that he had defense to charge of assaulting public servant, because he lacked knowledge that person who approached him was officer
