1. ““In order to prove a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel, a defendant must not only show that counsel’s performance was deficient, but also that counsel’s deficiencies resulted in prejudice to the defense. Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. [668], 693, 104 S.Ct. [2052], 2067 [ 80 L.Ed.2d 674 1984 ]; Ex parte Womack, 541 So.2d 47, 66-67 (Ala.1988).... Here ‘there is [no] reasonable probability that, but for counsel’s unprofessional errors, the result of the proceeding would have been different. A reasonable probability is a probability sufficient to undermine confidence in the outcome.’ Strickland, 466 U.S. at 694 , 104 S.Ct. at 2068 . ‘Appellant’s counsel cannot be held ineffective for failing to object to this [admissible] evidence. This ineffective counsel claim fails to satisfy either of the Strickland requirements.’ Bridge v. Lynaugh, 838 F.2d 770, 774 (5th Cir.1988).””
