• noting it is likely, “when a defendant asserts his sixth amendment claim for the first time on direct appeal, that the relevant facts will not be part of the trial record”
• “Due to the fact-intensive nature of the [ineffective assistance of counsel] inquiry . . . this court’s general practice is to remand the claim for an evidentiary hearing.”
