Can a defendant bring a claim for ineffective assistance of counsel against counsel who failed to follow up with follow-up questions?

Defendant claims counsel failed to follow-up with questions that may have benefited him. However, he does not attempt to demonstrate what favorable evidence, if any, would have been brought to light by any follow-up questions. He has not, therefore, demonstrated any prejudice from the alleged failure to ask follow up questions. (People v. Mendoza Tello (1997) 15 Cal.4th 264, 267 [appellate court should not find ineffective assistance of counsel without development all facts relevant facts in the record].) We therefore reject defendant's ineffective assistance of counsel claim.
