10 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Dahl v. State · Swindoll v. State“(1) There is a strong presumption that counsel's conduct falls within the wide range of reasonable professional assistance; that is, the defendant must overcome the presumption that, under the circumstances, the challenged action might be considered sound trial strategy. (2) The two-prong test to determine whether or not defense counsel was constitutionally ineffective is (a) The petitioner must show that counsel's conduct was so deficient that he was not functioning as counsel guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment, and (b) If the petitioner can show that counsel was ineffective, then he must show that he was prejudiced by counsel's mistakes.”
