California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Vasquez, F069281 (Cal. App. 2016):
against the standard of a reasonably competent attorney and that counsel's deficient performance resulted in prejudice to defendant in the sense that it 'so undermined the proper functioning of the adversarial process that the trial cannot be relied on as having produced a just result.' [Citations.]" (People v. Andrade (2000) 79 Cal.App.4th 651, 659-660.)
