California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Bates, A152906 (Cal. App. 2019):
[Citation.] A 'reasonable probability' is not a showing that 'counsel's conduct more likely than not altered the outcome in the case,' but simply 'a probability sufficient to undermine confidence in the outcome.' " ( In re Cordero (1988) 46 Cal.3d 161, 180; Strickland v. Washington (1984) 466 U.S. 668, 693-694.)
