MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S.A v. Simpson, 10cv1048 DMS, CASE NO. 06cr1242 DMS (S.D. Cal. 2011):
An attorney's representation violates the Sixth Amendment right to counsel if two factors are met. See Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668 (1984). First, the attorney's representation must fall below an objective standard of reasonableness. Id. at 688. Second, there must be prejudice, i.e., a reasonable probability that but for counsel's errors, the result of the proceedings would have been different. Id. at 694.
