  3. “To show prejudice from ineffective assistance of counsel where a plea offer has lapsed or been rejected because of counsel’s deficient performance, defendants must demonstrate a reasonable probability they would have accepted the earlier plea offer had they been afforded effective assistance of counsel. Defendants must also demonstrate a reasonable probability the plea would have been entered without the prosecution canceling it or the trial court refusing to accept it, if they had the authority to exercise that discretion'under state law. To establish prejudice in this instance, It is necessary to show a reasonable probability that the end result ofithe criminal process would have been more favorable by reason of a píea to a lesser charge or a sentence of less prison time.”
