How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that counsel wasn’t ineffective for declining to call a witness whose testimony seemed “fabricat[ed]” even though it corroborated the defendant’s alibi
  • holding that it was reasonable trial strategy to not call witnesses who could have corroborated some of the defendant’s testimony but would have drawn attention to unfavorable facts and might have made the jury more skeptical of the defendant’s testimony as a whole
