4 later decisions quote this exact passage“`[O]nce an actual conflict is demonstrated, a showing of specific prejudice is not necessary, ...' for `to hold otherwise would engage a reviewing court in unreliable and misguided speculation as to the amount of prejudice suffered by a particular defendant.
