Strickland v. Washington green

2023Indeed, in Strickland, 466 U.S. at 692-93 , the Supreme Court directed that in cases of actual or constructive denial of the assistance of counsel, courts are to presume prejudice rather than assess whether defense counsel’s errors “actually had an adverse effect on the defense.” Yet, in this case, the State suggests that we do precisely the opposite by looking to whether Mr. Clark can prove that he actually would have spoken with counsel during the overnight recess.

Ruiz, 536 U.S. 622 (2002), in which the Supreme Court held that a defendant’s entitlement to disclosure of exculpatory and impeachment information under Brady v. Maryland and its proge
