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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A defendant’s Sixth Amendment rights are violated if counsel’s assistance was deficient and the defendant was therefore prejudiced. Strickland, 466 U.S. at 687 , 104 S.Ct. 2052 . There are two prongs to the test: (1) whether counsel’s representation fell below the objective standard of reasonableness; and (2) whether there is a reasonable probability that, if counsel had not acted unprofessionally, the outcome of the proceeding would have been different. Id. at 694 , 104 S.Ct. 2052 . The petitioner must show irresponsibility on the attorney’s part that is sufficient to undermine confidence in the outcome of the trial. Soffar v. Dretke, 368 F.3d 441, 478 (5th Cir.2004). 21”
