Cobb v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• expert’s opinion must be his own; he cannot serve as a mere conduit for the opinions of other experts
• defendant need only show “a reasonable probability of a different outcome” as a result of counsel’s deficient performance, and “not that a different outcome would have been certain or even more likely than not”
• when eyewitness’ credibility was serious issue at trial and expert testimony connecting defendant to murder weapon was improper, defendant established reasonable probability that outcome of trial would have been different had expert testimony been excluded
• trial counsel’s failure to raise objection at trial was ineffective
