• holding that the Teague rules limiting retroactive interpretation of the law do not apply to changes in the law that would uphold, rather than reverse, a conviction
• concluding that analysis in ineffective assistance of counsel cases that focuses solely on outcome determination, rather than the fundamental fairness or reliability of the proceeding, is deficient
• holding that whether performance of counsel was deficient is based upon the law as it existed at the time
• recognizing that a reviewing court must consider \whether counsel's deficient performance renders the result of the trial unreliable or the proceeding fundamentally unfair\
• holding that a federal habeas petitioner ordinarily has no claim of reliance on past judicial precedent
• holding that an ineffective assistance of counsel analysis “focusing solely on mere outcome determination, without attention to whether the result of the proceeding was fundamentally unfair or unreliable, is defective”
