What evidence supports the claim that Murolo would have chosen to go to trial rather than plead guilty?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Murolo, 902 F.2d 41 (9th Cir. 1989):

Until this appeal, Murolo did not raise the claim that he would have chosen to go to trial. He alleged no facts in his habeas petition that would support such a claim. The error he did allege does not support his contention, because even a single potential sentence of 25 years to life poses much greater exposure than the five-year sentence he received under the plea arrangement. Thus, Murolo's petition did not show a reasonable probability that he would have behaved differently in the absence of counsel's mistake. See Hill v. Lockhart, 474 U.S. 52, 58-60 (1985).
