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 72 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“counsel `pulled his punches,' i.e., failed to represent defendant as vigorously as he might have had there been no conflict.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“[i]t is important to recognize that `adverse effect on counsel's performance' under [ Cuyler v.] Sullivan, supra, 446 U.S. at pages 348 and 350 [64 L.Ed.2d at pages 346, 348], is not the same as `prejudice' in the sense in which we often use that term. When, for example, we review a `traditional' claim of ineffective assistance of counsel (i.e., one involving asserted inadequate performance as opposed to `conflicted' performance), we require the defendant to show a reasonable probability that the result (i.e., the disposition) would have been different. [Citations.] ... As we suggested in Mroczko, supra, Sullivan requires an inquiry into whether the record shows that counsel `pulled his punches,' i.e., failed to represent defendant as vigorously as he might have had there been no conflict.

1 later decision quote this exact passage“`a defendant who raised no objection at trial must demonstrate that an actual conflict of interest adversely affected his lawyer's performance.' [Citations.] The Court in [ Cuyler v.] Sullivan [(1980) 446 U.S. 335, 348 ( 64 L.Ed.2d 333, 346-347 , 100 S.Ct. 1708 )] made clear that such a defendant must `show[] that his counsel actively represented conflicting interests,' and `the possibility of conflict is insufficient to impugn a criminal conviction.'
