How courts have described this case

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

  • recognizing that the distinction between direct and collateral consequences breaks down and a different rule applies where counsel misinforms a client regarding a particular consequence
  • finding ineffective assistance of counsel when both the movant and the circuit court possessed a mistaken belief that his parole eligibility would not be extinguished entirely by the imposition of consecutive sentences
  • “The prejudice is obvious” . . . where the sentencing court expressly misconstrued the effect of sentencing the defendant to a consecutive 5 term after expressing its interest in showing leniency to the defendant
