• a jury cannot convict of a lesser included offense unless it is charged on the offense
• where defendant's sole defense to armed robbery charge was that he did not have a weapon, trial counsel's failure to request lesser charge of robbery by intimidation was deficient performance
• defense counsel's failure to request a lesser-included-offense charge deprived defendant of his only defense
• defense counsel’s failure to request a lesser-included-offense charge deprived defendant of his only defense
