How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- “Ineffectiveness is not established simply by showing that [counsel] failed to call an additional witness ... to bolster the defense case”
- tactical decision not to request continuance was not ineffective because it was not “manifestly unreasonable”
- defense counsel’s failure to request fresh complaint instruction reasonable where his trial strategy relied on using circumstances attending fresh complaint in connection with more than just question of corroboration
