Revels v. Commissioner of Correction
(2×)
Baldwin explained to the best of her recollec- tion that, in choosing not to focus on the phone call between the petitioner and his girlfriend, Sturman avoided calling attention to the petitioner’s hands and thus avoided the state’s further probing of the concern- ing GSR evidence. ‘‘Simply put, trial counsel made a reasonable strategic decision that the risk associated with presenting [certain] evidence . . . was not justi- fied.’’ Clinton S. v. Commissioner of Correction, 174 Conn. App. 821, 832 , 167 A.3d 389 , cert. denied, 327 Conn. 927 , 171 A.3d 59 (2017); see Watson v. Comm…

See State v. Aziegbemi, 111 Conn.

The habeas court determined that the performance prong was not satisfied because defense counsel's decision not to introduce any of the diagnostic interview was a sound strategic decision. "[C]ounsel is strongly presumed to have rendered adequate assistance and made all significant decisions in the exercise of reasonable professional judgment. ... [B]ecause of the difficulties inherent in making the evaluation, a court must indulge a strong presumption that counsel's conduct falls within the wide range of reasonable professional assistance; that is, the [petitioner] must overcome the presumpti…
