How courts have described this case

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

• finding that counsel’s decision not to call the defendant to the stand was not an unreasonable strategic decision in part because it “[was] likely that additional inculpatory evidence would have been admitted had [the defendant] testified” (emphasis added)
• finding no ineffective assistance where evidence of waiver is in the record and defendant was silent through jury instruction conference discussing him not testifying
