• explaining that the test for harm under plain-error review is equivalent to the test in ineffective assistance of counsel cases for whether an attorney’s allegedly deficient performance has resulted in prejudice of constitutional proportions
• explaining that the test for harm under plain error review is equivalent to the test in ineffective assistance of counsel cases for whether an attorney’s allegedly deficient performance has resulted in prejudice of constitutional proportions
