“In a case of joint representation of conflicting interests, the evil is in what the advocate is compelled to refrain from doing. [Cit.] Thus, a failure on the part of counsel to pursue an alternative defense theory that is more favorable to one defendant but which would have prejudiced a co-defendant by shifting blame to him may well give rise to an actual conflict of interest. [Cit.]”
