How courts have described this case

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

  • stating that evidence presented post-trial and at sentencing “should have alerted the trial judge to the need to conduct a Frendak inquiry”
  • noting that Frendak is concerned with the defendant’s “capacity at the time of trial to recognize the availability of the defense and whatever advantages—as well as disadvantages—it may offer to defendant’s case”
  • “It can be difficult to ascertain, without inquiry, whether there is merely a disagreement after the defendant has been fully advised, whether defendant is ill-informed, or whether counsel is conflicted between loyalty to her client’s objective and counsel’s own, contrary advice.”
