Is ineffective assistance of counsel ineffective when a defense attorney fails to raise a meritless objection?

standard. The ineffective assistance of counsel claim fails because a competent defense attorney could have reasonably concluded that the statements at issue did not warrant an objection or admonition. (See People v. Price (1991) 1 Cal.4th 324, 387 ["Counsel does not render ineffective assistance by failing to make motions or objections that counsel reasonably determines would be futile."]; People v. Bradley (2012) 208 Cal.App.4th 64, 90 ["Failure to raise a meritless objection is not ineffective assistance of counsel."].)
