2013He testified that he did so because Adams “has a higher right to determine which ones should stay and which ones should go, and I delegate that responsibility to him, and if he is neutral, then I step in.” Even if we assume that trial counsel’s conduct in this regard constitutes ineffective assistance of counsel, Adams has not shown by the record that “but for such deficiency, there is a reasonable probability that the outcome of [his] trial would have been different.” (Citation omitted.) Waits v. State, 282 Ga. 1, 5 (4) ( 644 SE2d 127 ) (2007).

2026The report noted that Adams “reported a recent history of mental health symptoms” but that the symptoms resulted from his “significant illicit drug use,” and that Adams’s test results indicated that he was “grossly feigning his psychiatric symptoms.” The report also stated that, although Adams “might be experiencing some depression or anxiety related to his current legal situation, his symptoms do not appear to be adversely affecting his understanding of his legal situation” and concluded that Adams had “the capacity to understand the nature and object of the proceedings against him, comprehen

2026In fact, his mental health evaluation concluded that his mental status at the time of Woodson’s murder was the result of intoxication, that Adams “was able to distinguish right from wrong,” and that he “was not operating under a delusional compulsion that overmastered his will to commit the alleged offense.” Accordingly, trial counsel’s decision to pursue a defense theory of self-defense instead of an insanity defense was objectively reasonable, see Starks v. State, 283 Ga. 164, 168 (2008) (trial counsel’s decision to pursue a self-defense strategy instead of an insanity defense was reasonable
