• rejecting the argument that counsel could’ve pursued an alternative strategy of shifting the blame to the code- fendant—“the alternative strategy . . . was not an option available to trial counsel because the facts d[id] not support the theory”
• blame shifting was not realistic because although codefendant had a motive to kill the victim, no witness saw him holding the knife or could corroborate his opportunity to do so
