How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- nonconstitutional error such as erroneous admission of similar act evidence is harmless if it is “highly probable” that error did not contribute to the verdict
- counsel’s conduct is considered reasonable if it falls “‘within the range of competence demanded of attorneys in criminal cases.’”
- choice between trial tactics, though appearing plainly unwise in retrospect, not tantamount to \constitutionally-deficient representation\
