Syllabus

Ineffective assistance of counsel undermined defendant's right to a fair trial when counsel failed to object to or seek judicial correction of trial judge's mistaken comments during voir dire variously to the effect that defendant was not contesting that someone by defendant's name had committed the crime, that the defense was going to rely on there being a lot of other people by that name, and that the issue was going to be whether police had charged \the right\ person bearing that name. Judgment reversed case remanded.
