How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- deferring to counsel's strategic decision not to strike a potential juror who believed that \one is guilty before proven innocent\ and stated that it would be \difficult\ for him to be impartial
- where juror stated it would be “difficult” for him to be impartial because he believed persons to be guilty until proven innocent, no ineffectiveness in failing to strike juror because decision was manifestly tactical and due respect was paid to juror’s oath
- counsel not obligated to file futile motions
