How courts have described this case

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

  • trial counsel did not testify at new trial hearing, and undisputed evidence showed that defendant told counsel about alibi witnesses
  • prejudice shown where alibi witnesses testified at the new trial hearing that they were with defendant at the time of the armed robbery
  • trial counsel’s deficiency in failing to call alibi witnesses prejudiced the defense in case where evidence against defendant, which rested largely upon the identification testimony of one witness, was not overwhelming
  • where evidence against defendant rested primarily on the credibility of a single witness, there was a reasonable probability that the presence of the omitted evidence would have affected the outcome
