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 42 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“counsel failed to act as a reasonably competent attorney under the same or similar circumstances by failing to strike for cause [John Huck (“Mr. Huck”) ], who knew a State’s witness and stated he could not be fair. The motion court’s conclusion that trial counsel’s decision was reasonable trial strategy because he believed that [Mr. Huck] would have reason to know the witness had a reputation as a liar leaves a definite and firm impression that a mistake has been made.”
