• finding defendant received ineffective assistance of counsel due to counsel’s lack of preparation for trial and failure to prepare a defense, where counsel testified that he prepared only minimally for trial because he expected a motion for continuance to be granted
• evidence sufficient to support conviction for criminal attempt to commit aggravated child molestation where jury could find that, had child consented to defendant’s request, defendant would have performed oral sex on child
• defendant entitled to new trial where, among other things, trial counsel failed to impeach state’s witnesses with their prior inconsistent statements to police as well as with evidence demonstrating that the victims had a financial motive for bringing the charges
• in aggravated child molestation case based solely on the testimony of the two alleged victims, a reasonable probability existed that the outcome of the case would have been different but for counsel’s failure to impeach victims
• testimony of victim alone sufficient to authorize guilty verdict
• in aggravated child molestation case based solely on the testimony of the two alleged victims, defendant showed a reasonable probability that the outcome of the case would have been different but for trial counsel’s deficient performance in, inter alia, failing to impeach victims
