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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In determining whether a defendant has been denied the effective assistance of counsel, the reviewing court must determine whether, in light of all the circumstances, the acts or omissions of which a defendant complaints [sic] are outside “the wide range of professionally competent assistance.” A strong presumption exists that counsel rendered adequate legal assistance. Even if a defendant establishes that his attorney’s acts or omissions were outside the wide range of competent professional assistance, he must also establish that counsel’s errors had an adverse effect upon the judgment. Moreover, it is not necessary for the reviewing court to “address both components of the inquiry if the Defendant makes an insufficient showing on one” or to “determine whether counsel’s performance was deficient before examining the prejudice suffered by the defendant as a result of the alleged deficiencies.””
