• clarifying that the Cronic presumption of prejudice applies only in cases where the denial of counsel necessarily undermines the reliability of the entire criminal proceeding and, therefore, does not necessarily apply to the denial of counsel during a defendant's arraignment.
• reconciling Coleman and Cronic by reading Cronic in a limited fashion
• “Under an expansive reading of Cronic, a denial of counsel at any critical stage . . . would warrant a presumption of prejudice. However, we conclude that Cronic should be read in a more limited fashion.”
