How courts have described this case

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

• emphasizing lack of prejudice when “after completion of the trial, Engelen continued to assert his innocence”
• finding insufficient evidence of prejudice, in part because defendant “made no direct assertion that he would have pled guilty if [his] counsel had provided him with additional information concerning the risks of trial”
• rejecting claim that trial counsel was ineffective for failing to advise defendant of advantages of accepting offered plea agreement where defendant, inter alia, maintained his innocence at trial and continued to assert his innocence after trial
• affirming dismissal without a hearing when movant maintained his innocence at trial and “made no direct assertion that he would have pled guilty if his counsel had provided him with additional information concerning the risks of trial.”
• the question is whether the petitioner would have agreed to the plea bargain “if properly advised”
• defendant was not entitled to hearing because defendant presented no objective evidence that he would have admitted his guilt before trial
