Can a claim of ineffective assistance be raised in a petition for writ of habeas corpus?

"[N]ormally a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel is appropriately raised in a petition for writ of habeas corpus [citation], where relevant facts and circumstances not reflected in the record on appeal, such as counsel's reasons for pursuing or not pursuing a particular trial strategy, can be brought to light to inform the two-pronged inquiry of whether counsel's 'representation fell below an objective standard of reasonableness,' and whether 'there is a reasonable probability that, but for counsel's unprofessional errors, the result of the proceeding would have been different.' [Citation.]" (People v. Snow (2003) 30 Cal.4th 43, 111.)
