7 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“"[T]he alleged incompetence of [defendant's] trial attorney depends upon whether [defendant] would have testified, even if he had known in advance that the State would use his prior convictions to impeach him. No evidence in the record before us addresses this question, nor is there any evidence regarding consultations between [defendant] and his trial counsel or between [defendant's] counsel and counsel for the other defendants."
