How courts have described this case

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

• recognizing that the decision to plead guilty rests with the defendant alone and once the defendant makes that decision, this obviates the need for an attorney who has undertaken reasonable investigative efforts to continue to prepare for a defense
• finding tape recording “must be of such clarity and completeness to preempt speculation in the minds of jurors as to its content” (quoting Dearman v. State, 743 N.E.2d 757, 762 (Ind. 2001))
• “We will not reweigh the evidence or judge the credibility of witnesses, and will consider only the probative evidence and reasonable inferences flowing therefrom that support the post-conviction court’s decision.”
