Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Prejudice will be presumed from a conflict of interest only when the defendant demonstrates that an actual conflict of interest adversely affected his lawyer’s performance. Petitioner has the burden of proving a conflict of interest and showing its adverse effects. A petitioner is not entitled to relief . . . unless he satisfies both prongs of the test. The prejudice must be real and have some demonstrable detrimental effect and not merely have some abstract or theoretical effect.”
